HR Cloud
Modular HR platform for onboarding, core HR, and frontline employee experience.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
HR Cloud is a modular HR platform for onboarding, core HR, and frontline employee experience. Modules are quoted by employee count.
Stands out for: Onboard, People, and Workmates are sold as modules, so a frontline employer can buy onboarding without a full HRIS rip-and-replace.
Watch out for: hrcloud.com does not print a self-serve per-employee grid. Implementation is a project. This is not Gusto payroll.
Overview
HR Cloud sells modular HR: onboarding, core people records, and a frontline employee-experience layer (Workmates). You can adopt one module. Payroll is not the wedge. The typical buyer has deskless workers who need an app, not another desktop HRIS.
Commercials are quote-based, usually by employees and modules. BambooHR lists from $250/mo. Gusto lists from $49/mo. HiBob, Personio, and Rippling are quoted. HR Cloud competes as a modular onboarding and EX platform rather than as payroll.
