A switch may be worth considering if the minimum size or commitment is a poor fit: paid plans start at $8 +GST per employee monthly and require at least 10 employees, with 12-, 24- or 36-month subscription terms. Pro has a one-time $1,899 +GST setup fee. Happy HR supports Android, iOS and web. Compare alternatives by the HR work they cover, platform choices, and entry pricing; also weigh free-plan access against the features and support your team needs.
