ZodHR vs a typical HRMS
Most HR software is sold through a sales call, priced per module and set up over weeks. Here’s how ZodHR does it differently.
Pricing
ZodHR: Published per-employee prices from ₹79 a month. Buy online in minutes, with a GST invoice.
Typical HRMS: Prices on request, with modules quoted separately.
Trying it
ZodHR: 14-day free trial on any plan. No card, no sales call.
Typical HRMS: A demo call before you can see the product.
Getting started
ZodHR: Your workspace is ready when you sign up, with departments, leave policies, a shift and holidays already set up. Import employees from a CSV.
Typical HRMS: An implementation project with the vendor’s team.
Indian payroll
ZodHR: PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS in every payroll run.
Typical HRMS: Often a separate payroll product or add-on.
Biometric devices
ZodHR: ZKTeco and eSSL connect straight to the cloud. Other devices use the API.
Typical HRMS: A sync PC or middleware at the office.
AI assistant
ZodHR: Zod AI is included in Professional and Enterprise, answering from your own HR data within each person’s permissions.
Typical HRMS: A paid add-on, where it exists.
Former employees
ZodHR: Free. Licences cover active employees only.
Typical HRMS: Varies by vendor.
Everyday experience
ZodHR: A fast, modern interface with dark mode and dashboards each person can arrange.
Typical HRMS: Form-heavy screens built around HR, not employees.
