30-day free trial · Every module · No card

Free HR Software for India — Every Module Free for 30 Days

Most HR platforms price by headcount, so growing your team raises your bill. ADMINFACE lets every new organisation use every module free for 30 days, with no card: payroll, HR, attendance and leave, PF/ESI/PT/TDS calculation, employee self-service and the rest of the platform. After the trial you pay monthly only for the modules you keep — each one priced for the whole organisation, not per employee. Free modules right now: Regions, Branches, WFH, Notice Board, Daily Notes, Reports, Performance, Recognition, 360° Feedback, Surveys, HR Helpdesk, Statutory, Onboarding, Family Details, OKRs & Goals and Org Chart.

Every module free for 30 days, no credit card. After that: from $1 per module per month, per organisation, with no per-employee fees. Free modules right now: Regions, Branches, WFH, Notice Board, Daily Notes, Reports, Performance, Recognition, 360° Feedback, Surveys, HR Helpdesk, Statutory, Onboarding, Family Details, OKRs & Goals and Org Chart. Your organisation gets its own isolated database.

What the free trial includes

The whole platform, free for 30 days

Nothing is held back during the trial. Afterwards each module has its own monthly price for the whole organisation — from $1 per module per month — so you keep only what earns its place.

Unlimited employees

Headcount is never what you pay for. Modules are priced per organisation, so adding employees does not change your bill — during the trial or after it.

Payroll with PF / ESI / PT / TDS

Salary components, payroll runs, PDF payslips and statutory calculation are all available in the trial — not held back behind a higher tier.

Attendance and leave

Web clock-in, shifts, leave types, balances, approvals and holiday calendars, ready to use from day one.

Self-service and mobile app

Employees clock in, apply for leave and download payslips themselves from the browser or the installable mobile app.

Your own isolated database

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.

No card, no auto-renew

No card is taken at signup and nothing renews on you. When you decide to pay, you choose the modules and pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at once.

How it works

From signup to running payroll

Setting up is a normal afternoon of work, not an implementation project with a consultant attached.

1

Create your organisation

Pick a name and you get your own subdomain and a dedicated database. No sales call, no demo booking, no card.

2

Add people and structure

Import employees, then set up departments, designations, branches and shifts to match how you actually work.

3

Try every module for 30 days

Your first 30 days are a free trial of every module. Use what helps, and note what you would actually pay for.

4

Keep what you use

Pick the modules you want on the Billing page and pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Employees keep clocking in, applying for leave and downloading payslips.

Is there such a thing as free HR software?

Free HR tools are usually either a limited tier designed to push you into upgrading, or they are paid for in some other way. We would rather be straightforward about what ADMINFACE gives away and what it charges for. Every new organisation gets a 30-day free trial of every module, with no card and no limit on employees. It covers payroll, HR, attendance and leave; PF, ESI, PT and TDS statutory calculation; employee self-service and the mobile app; and every extra module, from biometric sync to recruitment.

After the trial, each module has its own monthly price for the entire organisation, not per employee — from $1 per module per month. A 300-person company pays the same as a 10-person one for the same modules, and you only pay for the modules you actually keep. You pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at once on the in-app Billing page (cards and PayPal, in US dollars; Indian organisations pay 18% GST on top), and nothing renews automatically. Free modules right now: Regions, Branches, WFH, Notice Board, Daily Notes, Reports, Performance, Recognition, 360° Feedback, Surveys, HR Helpdesk, Statutory, Onboarding, Family Details, OKRs & Goals and Org Chart.

What we do not do: we do not sell your employee data, we do not use it for advertising, and billed workspaces show no ads. Each organisation runs on its own database. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what is collected and why.

Who this suits

Per-module pricing suits organisations that need real HR infrastructure but cannot justify per-seat SaaS pricing across the whole headcount:

  • Growing startups where headcount changes monthly and a per-seat bill becomes unpredictable.
  • Small and mid-sized businesses running HR on spreadsheets because proper software costs more than the problem.
  • Organisations with large hourly or field workforces, where per-seat pricing across hundreds of low-wage staff is impossible to justify.
  • Schools, clinics, NGOs and trusts operating on fixed budgets that cannot absorb a recurring per-person cost.
  • Multi-branch operations needing regions, branches and sub-organisations without an enterprise contract.

What you can pick from

Core HR — employees and departments, web clock-in and shifts, leave and holidays, payroll and PF/ESI/PT/TDS, self-service and the mobile app — sits alongside biometric device sync, GPS tracking, onboarding, recruitment, an internal LMS, performance, OKRs and 360° feedback, tasks and projects, asset tracking, expense claims, bulk email and WhatsApp messaging, customer chat support with website live chat, QR contact cards, vehicle and driver management, and a hospital vertical covering OPD and IPD. Each is priced separately, so you never pay for a module you do not use.

You can run all of it during the 30-day trial before deciding. 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.

The honest limitations

It is fairer to say these up front:

  • This is not free forever. The trial is free for 30 days; after that, the modules you keep are paid monthly per organisation, unless a module is currently priced at $0.
  • If a bill goes unpaid you get reminders, then after a 7-day grace period the workspace becomes read-only until it is paid. Nothing is deleted.
  • Prices are in US dollars. Indian organisations pay 18% GST on top.
  • Support is by email.
  • This is HR and office management software. It is not an accounting package or a full ERP, and it does not pretend to be.

Getting started

Signing up takes a couple of minutes and needs no payment details. Use the first 30 days to try every module with your own team, then pay for just the modules you want to keep. 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.

How we differ

Why the pricing model matters more than the feature list

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is ADMINFACE really free, or is it a trial?

It is a free trial: every new organisation can use every module free for 30 days, with no card and no limit on employees. After that you pay monthly only for the modules you keep, each priced for the whole organisation — from $1 per module per month. Free modules right now: Regions, Branches, WFH, Notice Board, Daily Notes, Reports, Performance, Recognition, 360° Feedback, Surveys, HR Helpdesk, Statutory, Onboarding, Family Details, OKRs & Goals and Org Chart. Nothing is charged automatically and nothing is deleted.

How many employees can I add?

As many as you need. Modules are priced per organisation, not by headcount, so adding employees does not change what you pay — the main structural difference from per-seat HR platforms, where every new hire increases the monthly bill permanently.

What happens when the 30-day trial ends?

You choose the modules you want to keep on the Billing page and pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at once by card or PayPal (in US dollars; Indian organisations pay 18% GST on top). There is no auto-renew. If a bill stays unpaid you see reminders, and after a 7-day grace period the workspace becomes read-only until it is paid — your data is never deleted.

Is my employee data secure?

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 never used for advertising, and billed workspaces show no ads.

Can I export my data if I decide to leave?

Yes, at any time. 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.

Is payroll included in the trial?

Yes, in full — salary components, payroll runs, PDF payslips, and PF, ESI, PT and TDS statutory calculation. Payroll is commonly the first thing gated behind a higher tier elsewhere; here it is free for 30 days and then priced as its own module: $25 a month for the whole organisation.

How much does it cost after the trial?

Each module has its own monthly price for the entire organisation, regardless of headcount — from $1 per module per month. You pay only for the modules you keep, for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at once, with no per-seat fees and no auto-renew. Modules added mid-period are prorated, and Indian organisations pay 18% GST on top.
