VS
greytHRgreytHR and INDPayroll now cover similar ground. The difference is what it costs to get there.
greytHR is a full-suite HRMS used by 34,000+ companies across 30+ countries, consolidating payroll with recruitment, onboarding, leave, and performance management - plus an AI assistant, greytHR NAVOS - into one platform starting at ₹2,495/month.
INDPayroll now covers the same ground - HR management, attendance, leave, expense, performance and recruitment, alongside payroll - for Indian SMEs and CA firms, with transparent per-employee pricing and a genuinely free plan for up to 10 employees. Here's how the two actually compare.

Who greytHR Is For
greytHR fits organizations - often mid-sized and larger - that want one platform spanning the entire employee lifecycle: recruiting, onboarding, attendance, leave, performance reviews, and payroll, ideally with AI assistance layered across those workflows.
If your HR team is managing hiring pipelines, performance cycles, and engagement programs alongside payroll, and you'd rather run all of it from a single, established vendor with a mature AI assistant layered across the platform, greytHR's track record at scale is the reason to choose it.
Who INDPayroll Is For
INDPayroll fits Indian SMEs and CA/accounting firms who want the same HR and payroll breadth as a full HRMS - HR management, attendance, leave, expense, performance and recruitment (see the full product lineup) - without committing to a flat platform fee regardless of headcount. That pricing model is what funds a genuinely free tier (up to 10 employees) and per-employee pricing (₹52–75/employee/month) that scales with the team instead of penalizing small ones.
For a CA firm running payroll across multiple client companies, or a small business that wants HR and compliance handled without paying an enterprise-sized minimum from day one, that pricing model is the reason to choose INDPayroll.
The Real Difference
greytHR's ₹2,495/month is a flat platform fee, not a per-employee rate - so a 10-person company pays the same minimum as one approaching 50, working out to roughly ₹250/employee/month at the small end. The same 10-person company on INDPayroll pays ₹0.
Both platforms now span HR management, attendance, leave, expense, performance and recruitment alongside payroll. If a flat monthly fee from an established, enterprise-proven HRMS isn't a concern, greytHR is a solid choice. If the goal is that same breadth on pricing that scales with headcount - free to start, then per-employee - that's where INDPayroll is built to win.
