Most HR platforms price by headcount, so growing your team raises your bill. ADMINFACE is free for unlimited employees with every module included. Display ads inside the app pay for it, and ₹9,999 a year removes them if you would rather they were gone.
No credit card at signup. No trial clock. Your organisation gets its own isolated database.
There is no feature gate between the free and paid plan. The only difference is whether ads appear in the interface.
Add 5 people or 5,000. Headcount never changes what you pay, so you are never penalised for hiring.
Attendance, leave, payroll, recruitment, assets, expenses, projects, LMS, OKRs, helpdesk and the rest. No add-ons, no upsells.
Each organisation gets a separate database rather than a shared table with a tenant column. Your data is not sitting alongside anyone else's rows.
Connect eSSL, ZKTeco or Hikvision readers on the free plan. Device integration is not held back as an enterprise feature.
Export your records whenever you want. Being free does not mean being locked in — leaving is a supported action, not a support ticket.
Nothing expires in 14 days and no card is taken at signup. The free plan is the product, not a sampler.
Setting up is a normal afternoon of work, not an implementation project with a consultant attached.
Pick a name and you get your own subdomain and a dedicated database. No sales call, no demo booking, no card.
Import employees, then set up departments, designations, branches and shifts to match how you actually work.
Enable the modules that matter now — attendance and leave for most teams — and leave the rest dormant until you want them.
Employees clock in, apply for leave and download payslips themselves. Approvals route to the right manager automatically.
The reasonable question about free software is what the catch is. Ours is plain: the free plan shows non-intrusive display ads inside the application. Those ads fund development, which is why we can offer the full platform rather than a limited tier designed to push you into upgrading.
If ads are not acceptable in your environment — and in some organisations they genuinely are not — the Ad-Free plan is ₹9,999 a year plus taxes for the entire organisation, not per employee. A 300-person company pays the same as a 10-person one. Nothing else changes between the plans.
ADMINFACE fits organisations that need real HR infrastructure but cannot justify per-seat SaaS pricing across the whole headcount:
Everything. To be concrete, the free plan includes attendance with clock in/out and shift management, leave and WFH requests with approval chains, full payroll with PF, ESI and professional tax plus PDF payslips, biometric device sync, expense claims, salary advances, full-and-final settlement, asset tracking, document management, an org chart, offer letters, onboarding and exit workflows, tasks and projects, an internal LMS, OKRs and 360° feedback, an HR helpdesk, recognition, surveys, notice board, chat, bulk email and WhatsApp messaging, GPS tracking, vehicle and driver management, reporting dashboards, and a hospital vertical covering OPD and IPD.
There is also a separate recruitment portal with a job board and an AI career assistant, and — for organisations that need it — a patient portal on the hospital side.
Free does not mean unlimited in every dimension, and it is fairer to say so:
Signing up takes a couple of minutes and needs no payment details. If it does not suit you, export your data and go — that path stays open on purpose. If you want to see how the underlying calculations work before committing anything, the free payroll and gratuity calculators run the same statutory logic the payroll module uses.
Most HR tools have broadly similar features. What differs is what happens to your bill as you grow, and what gets withheld until you upgrade.
| ADMINFACE | Typical HR platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Flat — ₹0, or ₹9,999/year to remove ads | Per employee, per month |
| Cost of hiring 50 more people | Nothing changes | Bill rises every month, permanently |
| Feature availability | Every module on every plan | Tiered — payroll and integrations often gated |
| Trial | No trial; the free plan is permanent | Typically 14-30 days, then card required |
| Data separation | A separate database per organisation | Usually shared tables with a tenant ID |
| Getting your data out | Export whenever you like | Varies; sometimes a support request |
"Typical HR platform" describes the pricing and packaging patterns common across the category — per-employee monthly billing, feature tiers and time-limited trials. Individual products vary; check current terms with any vendor you are comparing.
Genuinely free, permanently. There is no trial period, no expiry date and no card taken at signup. The free plan includes every module for unlimited employees. It is funded by display ads shown inside the application, and paying ₹9,999 a year removes those ads for the whole organisation.
There is no limit. Pricing is not based on headcount at all, so adding employees never changes what you pay. This is the main structural difference from per-seat HR platforms, where every new hire increases the monthly bill permanently.
Display ads inside the app, and email-based support that prioritises paid organisations. That is the whole trade. There is no feature gate — payroll, biometric sync and every other module work identically on both plans.
Each organisation gets its own isolated database rather than sharing tables with other customers, traffic is served over HTTPS with HSTS, and standard security headers are enforced. Employee data is never sold and is not used to target the ads, which are served based on the page rather than the viewer.
Yes, at any time and on any plan. Export is a normal feature rather than something you have to request from support. We would rather you stayed because the product works than because leaving was made difficult.
Yes, in full — salary components, monthly and bulk payroll runs, an approval workflow, PDF payslips, PF, ESI and professional tax computation, and ECR file generation for EPFO filing. Payroll is commonly the first thing gated behind a paid tier elsewhere; here it is not gated at all.
Removal of the ads across the whole organisation, priority email support, and earlier access to new modules. It is a flat annual figure plus taxes for the entire organisation regardless of headcount, and a GST invoice is provided.
HR built for teams of 5 to 200, without the per-seat maths or the enterprise implementation project.
Clock in/out, shifts, overtime, GPS and biometric sync feeding one attendance register.
Leave types, balances, approval chains, holidays, comp-off and encashment in one place.
Salary structures, PF, ESI, professional tax, approval workflow, PDF payslips and EPFO ECR files.
Sync eSSL, ZKTeco and Hikvision devices straight into attendance — pull or ADMS push.
Reusable onboarding templates, task checklists and a self-serve joiner portal.
Create your organisation, import your employees and run attendance this week. Nothing to pay, nothing to cancel, and your data comes out as easily as it went in.
