Pricing
Custom, quote-based pricing: HR Cloud sells a fixed annual license (not strictly per-seat) scaled to headcount, split into an Onboard Suite (onboarding, offboarding, People HRIS) and a broader HR Suite (adds Recruit ATS, performance management, PTO) plus optional add-ons (Employee Engagement, Assets, Time Clock). No public price list or self-serve trial — prospects get a personalized demo and custom quote, with a 12-month minimum on standard contracts and a reported 20% discount for annual payment., from $750
HR Cloud is a modular HR software platform built for mid-to-large organizations — especially those with distributed, frontline, or deskless workforces — that need onboarding, people data, engagement, time management, and recruiting in one connected system rather than a patchwork of point tools. The platform centers on two core suites: an Onboard Suite that pairs new-hire onboarding and offboarding with a People HRIS for centralizing employee records, documents, and org charts; and a broader HR Suite that adds a Recruit applicant tracking system, performance management and appraisals, and PTO/time-off tracking. Add-on modules cover employee engagement (recognition, rewards, internal communications, surveys, and digital signage under the Workmates brand), equipment/asset tracking, and time clock/timesheet management. A standout feature is Maya, HR Cloud's AI-powered onboarding assistant, which the company says helps deliver roughly 3x faster onboarding completion, with about 75% of onboarding finished on mobile — reflecting the platform's mobile-first design for frontline employees. Rather than replacing existing payroll systems, HR Cloud is built to integrate alongside providers such as ADP, UKG, and Workday, and the company positions implementation as HR-led rather than IT-led, with a typical six-week go-live. HR Cloud is headquartered in El Segundo, California, and says it serves 760+ organizations, including recognizable names like Toyota, Chick-fil-A, Amazon, and Dunkin'. It holds a G2 High Performer badge (Winter 2025) and a 5-star Capterra rating.
