HROne alternatives
A straight comparison with SignHR — what each costs, what moves if you switch, and where HROne is genuinely the better answer.
Why people look for HROne alternatives
- The pricing is bracketed at fifty users. A team of thirty pays for fifty, and a team of fifty-five pays for the block plus top-ups — so the effective per-head rate moves in the wrong direction at exactly the sizes most SMBs sit at.
- HROne's own pricing table and its FAQ quote different per-user figures, which sends people looking for a number they can trust.
- Teams that bought it for the breadth find they use a handful of modules and are paying for the catalogue.
Head to head
SignHR vs HROne
Pick SignHR if
Teams below HROne's fifty-user blocks who would rather pay for the headcount they actually have, and whose attendance, shifts and leave need to feed payroll inputs without month-end reconciliation.
Pick HROne if
Companies at or around fifty users who want a full payroll engine with established statutory handling, a broader module catalogue across recruitment and performance, and the backing of a long-running Indian provider. If you are paying for the block anyway, HROne's block price is competitive.

- Per-head or per-block pricing
- This is the whole reason people leave HROne. A per-user rate scales with you; a fifty-user block penalises you for being under it and again for being just over it.
- Indian statutory payroll
- PF, ESI, professional tax and gratuity are why most Indian teams buy an HRMS. Anything replacing HROne has to cover them without an add-on.
- A price you can read without a call
- If a vendor will not publish, you cannot shortlist it in an afternoon — and shortlisting is what you are doing here.

Where SignHR is the wrong choice
- Younger product than the incumbents, with a smaller partner and consultant ecosystem.
- Global payroll is not run in-house — multi-country HR is supported, but statutory payroll computation is India-first.
- Some integrations named on our roadmap are not shipped yet; the integrations page marks which.
Frequently asked questions
HROne publishes Basic at ₹4,950 a month and Professional at ₹6,500 a month, each covering fifty users, with additional users at ₹99 and ₹130 respectively. Enterprise is quoted. Note that its own FAQ quotes ₹85 and ₹115 per user per month, which does not reconcile with the block figures — worth clarifying before you sign.
Kredily's core plan is free forever for unlimited employees, and factoHR is free up to twenty. Among paid options, sumHR publishes ₹1,428 per employee per year and Zimyo starts at ₹80 per user per month, though Zimyo has a fifty-user minimum. Compare the total for your actual headcount rather than the entry price.
Zimyo and Zoho People price per user, and SignHR prices per employee with no minimum — though Zimyo still enforces a fifty-user floor on its published plans. Kredily brackets at twenty-five. greytHR, Pocket HRMS and factoHR all bracket at fifty like HROne does.
Possibly, depending on what you were using. HROne's module list is wide, and the lighter alternatives here — Kredily, sumHR — are deliberately narrower. The question worth answering first is which modules you actually opened last quarter, because paying for the breadth is the usual reason people are on this page.
