Bambee
Bambee pairs a small-business HR platform with a dedicated HR manager.
From $199/mo
Bottom line
Bambee pairs a small-business HR platform with a dedicated HR manager. Plans now come in three families: Observation from $199 per month, Supervision from $799, and Management from $1,499.
Stands out for: A named HR manager and a small Bambee team work on your issues, not a chatbot-only help desk. Higher plans move from flagging problems to working directly with your managers and then owning defined HR practices for you.
Watch out for: Final prices depend on company size and are set during registration, so the "from" figures are floors. This is not a PEO and not payroll.
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. The vendor says it covers companies with up to 500 employees across all 50 states.
Plans come in three families. Observation, from $199 per month, watches the company and flags what needs attention. Supervision, from $799 per month, works directly with your managers and people. Management, from $1,499 per month, takes responsibility for defined workforce practices. There is no printed free trial on the plans page.

- Founders who want phone support, not only a knowledge base
Not ideal for
- Companies that need payroll, benefits admin, or a PEO in the same bill
- Employers above 500 employees
