Bambee
Bambee pairs a small-business HR platform with a dedicated HR manager.
From $299/mo
Bottom line
Bambee pairs a small-business HR platform with a dedicated HR manager. The 1-4 employee plan is $299 per month billed monthly and includes that manager, 4 core policies, 2 custom policies, and 3 job descriptions.
Stands out for: Every paid headcount band includes a named HR manager plus chat, email, and phone support, not a chatbot-only help desk. 5-19 employees is $399/mo. 20-49 is $499/mo. 50-70 is $1,299/mo.
Watch out for: 71-plus employees is custom. This is not a PEO and not payroll. Policy and job-description counts are capped per band, so a messy handbook rewrite still consumes the custom-policy allotment.
Overview
Bambee is HR-as-a-service for American small businesses: a dedicated HR manager, a policy library, onboarding and termination help, and a software layer for employee records. Plans are billed monthly by headcount band. The 1-4 employee SKU at $299/mo is the first published band with a dedicated manager.
5-19 employees is $399/mo. 20-49 is $499/mo. 50-70 is $1,299/mo. 71-plus is custom. Each band raises the custom-policy and job-description caps. There is no printed free trial on the plans page.
