The cost comparison

Why payroll bundling costs you money.

greytHR and Pagarbook bundle salary with attendance, leave, and recruitment. You pay for modules you don't use. Below is what each vendor actually charges.

greytHR
₹2,495/month for 50 seats
≈ ₹50 per employee

Salary processing bundled with attendance, leave, recruitment, documents. No way to use salary alone.

Zoho People
Not transparent
Custom quote per user

Salary module only available as part of full HRMS. No standalone payroll option.

Pagarbook
₹5,000/month minimum
Flat rate, per payroll cycle

Salary processing + attendance mandatory. No option to use salary only.

INDPayroll

Salary processing only. PF, ESI, TDS, payslips, bank files, compliance reports. Then ₹99/employee/month if you add attendance or expense management.

Figures from each vendor's own website in August 2026. Per-employee maths assumes a ten-person team on entry plans. Vendors change prices - check theirs before you decide.

Bonus and incentives
