Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
greytHR
- Published starting price of INR 2,495/month covers only up to 50 employees, so larger companies must move to a higher, unpublished tier
- The platform serves 34,000+ companies and its entry tier is scoped by headcount rather than by feature set, meaning growth past 50 employees forces a plan change
Employment Hero
- HR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
- Core features like payroll, chat and rostering are unbundled add-ons billed separately per employee, for example Managed Payroll costs an extra AUD 20/employee/month with a AUD 400 monthly minimum
