Pros

Modular HR platform with scalable per-employee-per-month pricing ($5–15/employee depending on tier)
volume discounts at 100/250/500 employee thresholds
covers core HRIS, time off, onboarding, and document management
recruiting and payroll as add-ons

Cons

No published pricing—requires sales demo for quotes
Essential tier ($5–7/employee/month) excludes performance management (sold separately)
recruiting and payroll modules require additional fees
implementation and premium support costs not included
per-employee model unpredictable with high-turnover teams

Cost

Core plan starts from €7.60/employee/month; Core Pro plan and add-on apps (Recruiting, Surveys, Performance, Compensation) priced by custom quote; annual upfront payment earns a 10% discount; no free tier
