Decision checklist
greytHR is an HR and payroll platform built for Indian companies. It runs monthly payroll, manages leave and attendance, and gives employees a self-service portal and app for payslips, leave requests and HR queries.
Each plan has a monthly base fee that covers the first 50 employees, then a per-employee charge. For a 100-person company, Essential works out to ₹2,495 + (50 × ₹45) = ₹4,745/month before taxes. Many extra modules are add-ons, which Premium bundles.
greytHR is a safe choice for small and mid-sized Indian employers who mainly need payroll done right. If you want performance and expense modules inside the base plan, compare factoHR; for a lower per-employee rate, look at sumHR.
Starting price: ₹2,495/month (up to 50 employees). Model: Monthly base fee for 50 employees plus a per-employee charge above that.
