How to choose HR tools

Gusto publishes its payroll pricing openly, starting at $49 a month plus $6 per person, making it the easiest to budget before a sales call. Factorial starts at $8 per user a month and covers payroll alongside time and performance reviews. Most others, including HiBob, Personio and Paychex, give no price without a call. AnnualLeave and 7shifts are the only two with a free plan.

    Which countries the tool works in

    Gusto runs payroll only for US-based businesses.

    • Its tiers are clear: $49 a month base for the Simple plan, $80 for Plus, $180 for Premium, each with a per-person fee on top.
    • Ciphr is built for UK organisations, with pricing from £5 per employee a month and rules built around UK payroll law.
    • HiBob and Personio both support teams spread across multiple countries and handle local rules in each.
    • Factorial also works across regions.

    If your team is in one country, a country-specific tool is usually simpler to set up and keep within local rules.

Frequently asked questions

Which HR tools have a free plan?

Two tools here offer a free plan: 7shifts and AnnualLeave.

7shifts has a $0 monthly tier covering scheduling and basic onboarding, aimed at restaurant teams.

Every other tool here is paid only, and most require a sales call before they share a price.

Which payroll tools publish their pricing?

Gusto is the only payroll tool here with fully published tiers.

Its Simple plan is $49 a month base plus $6 per person, Plus is $80 plus $12, and Premium is $180 plus $22.

Factorial publishes $8 per user a month.

Ciphr says from £5 per employee a month but requires a call for the full quote.

Paychex lists three plan names but no figures for any of them.

Which tool suits a UK business running its own payroll?

Ciphr is built specifically for UK organisations.

It covers payroll, onboarding and HR in one place, with rules built around UK legislation and data protection law.

Pricing starts from £5 per employee a month, though the full quote comes from a sales call.

Gusto and Factorial both cover payroll but are not built around UK rules, so a UK team would need to check local requirements carefully before using either.

Which tool handles performance reviews without a full HR platform?

Reviewsnap focuses on performance reviews alone: online appraisals, 360-degree feedback, goal tracking and customisable review templates.

It does not include payroll or onboarding.

Pricing is not published and requires contacting sales.

If you want reviews as part of a broader setup, HiBob, Personio and Factorial each include performance management alongside payroll and onboarding.

Can HR tools help with recruiting and screening candidates?

Paradox handles the recruiting side: it screens candidates by chat or text, schedules interviews automatically and connects with platforms like Workday and SAP SuccessFactors.

It is built for hiring teams rather than for managing the people already employed.

Pricing is not published.

For the main HR jobs of onboarding and payroll, Gusto, Factorial and HiBob are the tools to look at instead.

Which tool suits a small business with a tight budget?

Betterteam is the most transparent paid option for small teams doing their own hiring, with plans starting at $39 a month for the Solo plan and no per-user fees.

For onboarding and scheduling, 7shifts has a free plan at $0 a month.

AnnualLeave covers leave tracking from £1.13 per employee a month after a free trial.

Gusto's Simple payroll plan starts at $49 a month base, which is the lowest published price for a full payroll service here.
