What Better HR is
Better HR provides HR, payroll, and workforce management software for organizations operating across Southeast Asia and other supported markets. Its Standard Plan brings together attendance, leave, employee management, project-based payment and overtime, a learning library, asset management, performance appraisals, KPI tracking, and expense tracking. The International plan lists payroll coverage in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
The mobile app supports check-in and check-out, leave and overtime requests, payslips, document sharing, KPI viewing, expense tracking, and announcements. Better HR also offers an AI Agent that takes natural-language requests for tasks such as payroll, leave management, policy enforcement, and candidate shortlisting. Its pricing FAQ says AI actions are permission-aware and logged, and may require manager or HR approval before changes take effect. The service supports API and file-based integrations for popular accounting and ERP platforms, with specific platforms discussed with the company. Better HR is available on web, Android, iOS, and API. It offers a free trial but no free plan; Standard Plan annual billing is listed at $2.20 per year, billed per user/month.
