Legal · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Expected better, Knysna customer

For the recruitment module price I expected far more than a pipeline board. Our disciplinary process needed documentation the system simply cannot hold properly.

Cons

Support weak on SA labour specifics

Real Estate · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Doing okay for our 110 person setup

Very good at the basics, still maturing on the advanced side. Employment equity reporting is not built in, we still do that in Excel. It speaks to Slack so approvals happen where the team already talks.

Pros

Published rand pricing per employee

Cons

Payroll integration needs consulting help

Manufacturing · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Happy with it, support is hit and miss

It does leave and records brilliantly and analytics barely. The performance module is functional but rigid, our competency model did not quite fit. Reports export cleanly when the auditors or the department ask questions.

Pros

Modular, pay only for what you switch on

Cons

Module costs stack up

Retail · 1–10 employees Namibia Used for Less than 6 months

Solid core, reporting needs muscle

Happy overall, though a few promised features are still promises. The mobile app needs a refresh, it logs people out at random.

Pros

Published rand pricing per employee; slack and Google Workspace integrations

Cons

Module costs stack up

Financial Services · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Good but not perfect for our Rustenburg team

Happy overall, though a few promised features are still promises. Integration with our payroll needed a consultant to wire up properly.

Pros

Modular, pay only for what you switch on; leave management staff actually use

Cons

Module costs stack up

Logistics · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Perfect size for a growing Centurion company

The per employee pricing means our costs track our headcount exactly. Small and mid sized companies without an HR department, this is for you.

Pros

Published rand pricing per employee

Cons

No employment equity reporting

Legal · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Pretoria, a few gripes

We like it, with the usual caveats of a young product. Support is offshore and the time zone gap slows conversations down. Employment equity reporting is not built in, we still do that in Excel.

Pros

Slack and Google Workspace integrations

Cons

Module costs stack up

Managing Director

3 July 2026

Nonprofit · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Perfect size for a growing Roodepoort company

The per employee pricing means our costs track our headcount exactly. Documents get signed digitally, contracts and policies included. It speaks to Slack so approvals happen where the team already talks.

Pros

Timesheets and expenses in the same app

Real Estate · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Gets us there, with some detours

Very good at the basics, still maturing on the advanced side. Support is offshore and the time zone gap slows conversations down. Recruitment at a flat R1,850 a month worked out cheaper than one agency placement fee.

Cons

Analytics are basic, exports do the heavy lifting

Healthcare · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Somerset West, a few gripes

Good value, as long as your needs match the modules. The performance module is functional but rigid, our competency model did not quite fit. Custom fields help, but deeper policy logic just is not configurable.

Pros

Timesheets and expenses in the same app

Cons

Advanced policy logic is not configurable

Mandla Meyer

Office Manager

22 May 2026

Logistics · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Four stars for the price point

It does leave and records brilliantly and analytics barely. Reporting is lists and exports rather than real dashboards. Recruitment at a flat R1,850 a month worked out cheaper than one agency placement fee.

Pros

Quick setup with the 30 day trial

Cons

No employment equity reporting

Hospitality · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Solid choice for our Sandton business

Started with just the core module and switched on performance when we were ready. Reports export cleanly when the auditors or the department ask questions. Exactly the right amount of system for a company our size.

Pros

Timesheets and expenses in the same app

Cons

Payroll integration needs consulting help

30 April 2026

Real Estate · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Exactly what our 15 person business needed

For a Johannesburg company of our size the pricing calculator made the decision easy. Workflows adapt to how we actually work rather than forcing a process on us.

Pros

Leave liability reports for year end

Does what we need, wants better SA localisation

Solid for people admin, thin for people strategy. Employment equity reporting is not built in, we still do that in Excel.

Pros

Great self service mobile app adoption

Cons

Mobile app has logout quirks

Food & Beverage · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Mostly happy in George, a few gripes

Solid for people admin, thin for people strategy. The mobile app needs a refresh, it logs people out at random.

Pros

Org chart and approvals out of the box

Cons

Module costs stack up

24 May 2025

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Working well for our 95 person team

As the office manager, HR admin used to eat a third of my week. Not anymore. Workflows adapt to how we actually work rather than forcing a process on us.

Pros

Sits naturally beside Sage payroll; leave liability reports for year end

Cons

Mobile app has logout quirks

Real Estate · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Disappointed after 2 years

A year of roadmap promises and the features we needed never landed. The offline experience is nothing, no signal on site means no approvals.

Cons

Support weak on SA labour specifics

Managing Director · Milkwood Trust Works

6 November 2024

Nonprofit · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Doing the job for us in Ballito

We hired through the recruitment module and the pipeline view kept everyone honest. New employee self onboarding collects the tax number and bank details before day one.

Pros

Published rand pricing per employee; digital document signing included

HR Business Partner · Zambezi Catering

18 August 2024

Hospitality · 11–50 employees Botswana Used for 1–2 years

Perfect size for a growing Worcester company

The org chart alone justified it to our MD. Support responded to our setup questions within a day, with actual answers. It grew our HR maturity a level without a consultant in sight.

Cons

Mobile app has logout quirks

Our accountant in Polokwane recommended it, good call
