RazorpayX Payroll alternatives
A straight comparison with SignHR — what each costs, what moves if you switch, and where RazorpayX Payroll is genuinely the better answer.
Why people look for RazorpayX Payroll alternatives
- It is payroll software, not an HRMS. Attendance, shifts, assets and the wider employee record are thin or absent, so most teams end up running a second system alongside it.
- The brackets are tight: Prime stops at twenty employees and Elite at a hundred, so growth means a tier change rather than a per-head increment.
- Every published figure carries 18% GST on top, which teams comparing headline prices often miss.
Head to head
SignHR vs RazorpayX Payroll
Pick SignHR if
Teams whose month-end pain is the data — attendance, shifts and leave feeding the payroll figure — and who need a full employee record on top of computing payroll inputs.
Pick RazorpayX Payroll if
If the problem is paying people, RazorpayX actually disburses — salaries, TDS, PF and ESI paid out from where they are computed — and SignHR does not. SignHR computes payroll inputs and hands off. If disbursement is the problem, RazorpayX solves it and SignHR does not.

- Is payroll the whole job, or part of it?
- This is the only question that matters here. If you also need attendance, leave and shift data feeding the payroll, a payout tool leaves you reconciling two systems every month.
- How disbursement is handled
- RazorpayX actually moves the money. Most HRMS products compute the inputs and hand off to a bank or a payroll bureau — an important difference to be clear-eyed about.
- The real total including tax and brackets
- Compare like for like: the published rate, plus GST, at your actual headcount rather than at the top of a bracket.

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
RazorpayX publishes Prime at ₹2,499 a month for up to twenty employees, and Elite at ₹5,499 a month billed annually — ₹8,499 on semi-annual billing — for up to a hundred employees, with additional employees at ₹150. Enterprise is quoted above a hundred. All figures carry 18% GST on top, and there is no free plan.
No, and it does not claim to be. It is payroll and disbursement: computing salaries, filing statutory dues and paying people. Attendance, shifts, assets, onboarding and the wider employee record are not its job, which is why teams typically run something else alongside it and why most people arrive on this page.
Be careful here, because it is the one thing RazorpayX does that most HRMS products do not. greytHR, Kredily and Pocket HRMS handle statutory payroll processing; SignHR computes payroll inputs and hands off rather than disbursing. If pressing the button that moves the money matters to you, confirm it explicitly with any vendor before switching.
factoHR is free up to twenty employees and Kredily's core plan is free for unlimited employees, though both put payroll processing behind paid tiers. At exactly twenty employees RazorpayX Prime is ₹2,499 plus GST — roughly ₹2,949 — so price the paid tier of any free-plan vendor against that rather than against the free headline.
