We are 70 people with no HR department and Breathe quietly became it. Performance check ins are light but they happen, which beats heavy and skipped.
Cons
Tier jumps on one hire

Office Manager

Leave lived in a shared spreadsheet nobody trusted, now nobody argues. Simple, predictable and quietly essential now.
Pros
No per seat maths ever
Craig Joubert
HR Manager · Springs Consulting Supplies

Our George studio put policies in with read receipts and the disputes just stopped. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram. The flat tier absorbed our seasonal staff without a billing surprise. Recommended to every owner still running leave in Excel.
Pros
One click exports for advisors
Cons
Public holidays loaded manually

Solid records and leave, everything else is lighter. Reporting is lists and exports rather than insight. The tier boundaries mean one hire can bump the whole monthly price.
Pros
Leave and absence handled cleanly
Cons
Pound billing moves with the rand

Does what we bought it for and little beyond. The tier boundaries mean one hire can bump the whole monthly price. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram.
Pros
One click exports for advisors; no per seat maths ever
Cons
Performance tools are light

Does what we bought it for and little beyond. Pound billing shifts with the exchange rate quarter to quarter. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram.
Pros
One click exports for advisors
Cons
UK hours support

HR Administrator

A good honest product with a British accent you will need to manage. Performance tools are check ins, not a real review framework. There is no employment equity or skills reporting, that stays in spreadsheets.
Pros
Leave and absence handled cleanly
Cons
No employment equity reporting

It handles the basics well and the basics are most of it. The leave defaults arrive very British and need proper SA configuration on day one.
Pros
Company calendar for resourcing

Managing Director

Our Klerksdorp studio put policies in with read receipts and the disputes just stopped. Document acknowledgement means policy arguments end with a timestamp.
Pros

For the price we forgive the gaps, mostly. Public holidays needed manual loading for the South African calendar. Performance check ins are light but they happen, which beats heavy and skipped.
Pros
Setup in a weekend
Cons
Pound billing moves with the rand
Nkosinathi Steyn
HR Manager · Johannesburg Textiles and Sons

We are 6 people with no HR department and Breathe quietly became it. Leave balances calculate themselves and staff check the app instead of asking.
Pros
Document acknowledgement with timestamps
Cons
Pound billing moves with the rand

Our Mossel Bay studio put policies in with read receipts and the disputes just stopped. Leave balances calculate themselves and staff check the app instead of asking. Document acknowledgement means policy arguments end with a timestamp.
Pros
Self service staff records; one click exports for advisors
Senzo Perumal
Director
26 May 2026
Managers approve leave from their phones and the office manager got her Fridays back. Document acknowledgement means policy arguments end with a timestamp. Performance check ins are light but they happen, which beats heavy and skipped. Our people admin went from liability to non event.

Happy with the core, aware of the edges. Public holidays needed manual loading for the South African calendar.
Pros
Self service staff records; one click exports for advisors
Cons
UK hours support
Shireen Abrahams
Managing Director
17 May 2026
Support in another time zone tested our patience repeatedly. Our question sat overnight, twice, during a dismissal process.
Pros
Light performance check ins
Cons
Overnight waits during urgent processes

Admin Manager · Rustenburg Medical Holdings

A good honest product with a British accent you will need to manage. The org chart stays current because the records underneath it do.
Cons
No employment equity reporting

The UK assumptions run deeper than the sales call suggested. The band jump doubled our bill for the sake of two hires. Our question sat overnight, twice, during a dismissal process.
Cons
Statutory categories need workarounds
Sifiso Xaba
Founder
7 April 2026
For the price of a lunch per month our people admin is simply handled. Recommended to every owner still running leave in Excel.
Pros
Company calendar for resourcing
Boitumelo Perumal
Director · Garden Route Steel and Sons

Onboarding documents go out before day one and arrive back signed. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram. The employee self service means staff update their own banking and addresses. Recommended to every owner still running leave in Excel.
