Bottom line
Cloud HR and payroll suite for Indian businesses, with PF, ESI, PT and TDS compliance built into payroll alongside attendance, leave, expenses and core HR. Essential is ₹60 per employee a month and Growth at ₹100 adds recruitment, performance, engagement and an HR helpdesk, with no setup fee and a free trial on request.
Stands out for: Payroll is built around Indian statutory compliance, including PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS, Labour Welfare Fund, returns and challans, and the published price is low for a full HRMS: ₹60 per employee a month with payroll included on the entry plan. Attendance covers face recognition, geolocation, kiosk and biometric punch ins for factory and field teams.
Watch out for: It is built for Indian payroll law, so it does not suit companies paying staff in the US or other countries. Recruitment, performance, learning and engagement sit on the ₹100 Growth plan, field tracking is priced separately at ₹40 or ₹80 per employee, and the free trial is arranged through the sales team rather than self serve.
Overview

The vendor says more than 300 organisations use it, across manufacturing, pharma and healthcare, banking and financial services, technology, automotive and education, with offices in New Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Coimbatore and Kochi.
Core HR covers the employee database, documents, ID cards, policies, offer and promotion letters, onboarding and exit. Payroll runs configurable salary structures with one click processing, tax declarations, payslips, full and final settlements, loans and advances, and statutory compliance for PF, ESI, PT and TDS, plus returns and challans.
Attendance supports shifts, overtime, regularisation and work from home approvals, with face recognition, geolocation, kiosk and biometric device capture. Leave handles location and department policies, unlimited leave types and year end lapsing and carry forward, and expense management covers claims and travel advances.
The Growth plan adds recruitment with internal job posting, referrals, unlimited job posts, a company job page, candidate management, offers and hiring analytics, along with 360 and 180 degree performance reviews, OKRs, learning courses, surveys and recognition, asset and task management and an HR helpdesk. Android and iOS apps give employees self service.
Essential is ₹60 per employee a month and Growth ₹100, or ₹576 and ₹960 per employee a year billed yearly. Field tracking is a separate module, and there is no setup fee.
