AstraHR
What AstraHR is
AstraHR is a paid web-based HR product that combines employee records, people development tools, workflows, analytics, and an assistant using the same organisation data. Core HR covers contracts, documents, onboarding, absence management, time tracking, payroll preparation, roles, permissions, and workforce analytics. People development features include performance review cycles, goals and OKRs, 1:1 agendas and notes, instant feedback, compensation history, and approvals. Astra AI answers plain-language questions from organisation data within each user’s permissions, while analytics covers headcount, absence, goals, and performance. Listed workflows automate recurring administrative work. The Core plan is billed at €5 per active employee per month, or €50 per employee annually, and Complete is €9 per active employee per month, or €90 per employee annually; each requires at least 10 employees. A 14-day trial excludes Astra AI, which activates after the first payment. AstraHR runs on the web, stores its database in Ireland, and serves the application from Frankfurt.
