Right size for us

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs. Only real gripe is that you outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people.

Simple HR that just works

It replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon. Only real gripe is that reporting is basic beyond the essentials.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

Being UK built, the statutory leave just works, and the flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people.

The flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. Only real gripe is that no payroll, so we run that separately.
