Capterra’s blogs aim to be useful to small business software buyers. Capterra participates in vendor affiliate, referral, and pay-per-click programs where available. This means after a content piece is written by our researchers, our affiliate manager converts existing mentions of vendors into affiliate links where possible and adds PPC links where appropriate. When readers click on those links, sometimes we make a small commission and when they make purchases, sometimes we earn an affiliate fee. That said, we do not accept free products or services from vendors in exchange for mentioning them on the site. No Capterra blogs or blog posts are sponsored by vendors; further, our writers independently choose which vendors to cover and what to write about them.

Update 5/30/2017: We’ve updated this article to add an additional software option, and to remove any software that was outdated or no longer free. I always felt a bit bad taking one of the free samples at the supermarket. Yes, I know that’s what they’re there for. And I know the reps passing out cups of chips, or cheese, or (at Whole Foods, at least) nice red wine are only doing it to entice me to buy something. I felt like I was taking advantage of their generosity by eating what they gave me, but then not buying what they were selling.

In fact, it turns out this is a well-known. Companies count on you feeling bad about not reciprocating the “favor” of a free sample in order to sell you more stuff. Once I learned this, it became much easier for me to accept that free sample without the accompanying pang of guilt and burning need to somehow escape the judgmental gaze of everyone at the grocery store (I’m great fun in social situations). Free HR software The solutions below are all free, and not in the “free sample” kind of way that will make you feel guilty after a limited trial.

These are all free in perpetuity (though some are subject to a few limits) and many are especially good options for smaller and startup companies. I’ve broken up the following 10 products between free/freemium (i.e.

Free up to a certain point) offerings and open source systems. Open source software is also free, but some open source programs may require a bigger time investment or some knowledge of programming to make them run. They’re sorted by category, then alphabetically. Free/freemium 1. T his freemium product is free for up to three users, but caps off data storage for free accounts at 500 MB (versus 3 to 10 GB for upgraded accounts). The free version also doesn’t offer phone support or full access to mobile apps. The recruitment app in Apptivo Pros/cons Apptivo is organized as a suite of cloud-based “apps” rather than a single software product, which gives it a lot of flexibility, and allows users to mix and match for the functionality they need.

With HR apps for employee information, recruitment, vacation tracking, and team communication, it’s easy to build a basic HR tool for most needs. On the other hand, Apptivo isn’t built specifically as an HR tool; it covers a lot of other business disciplines such as customer relationship management, financials, project management, and marketing. That means it’s not quite as specialized for HR managers, and may be missing some functionality like training and performance appraisal. A couple years old now, this free tool is nevertheless stripped-down and focused on essentials. Leave management, employee self-service, and payroll processing are all included in the system. Available as a free, online solution, HR.my is run and updated by Chrysanth Software, a company based in Malaysia that continuously adds new features and updates to the software. Managing compensation in HR.my Pros/cons Development of HR.my is continuous and responsive, and user suggestions are implemented frequently.

Additionally, the tool is likely to stay free forever, as it seems to be used primarily to drive interest and traffic to some of the developer’s other, paid tools. While it is web-based, the look-and-feel of the tool is a little dated, so if aesthetics is your thing it might not be a perfect fit. Additionally, the focus on Malaysia may limit some of the functionality, especially from a payroll perspective, for users in other countries.

A time tracking/scheduling software, teamdeck is straightforward and in-depth. The scheduling is deeper than many scheduling programs I’ve seen, allowing managers to assign specific types of work or tasks, and to observe at a certain time. This is great for exacting types of work, or for managers with a micromanaging streak.

Teamdeck is free for up to six users. Teamdeck Dashboard Pros/cons Like to get way up in the nitty-gritty of what your employees are up to? You’re going to love teamdeck. If that’s not your jam, you’ll likely be more frustrated or annoyed by the extreme specifics.

Users also report few software integration options. A terrible oversight kept Zenefits off the first version of this list, but it’s free HR systems out there.

Zenefits’ core system is totally free, and includes benefits administration, employee self-service, onboarding and offboarding, and lots more. The company makes money if you decide to manage your benefits through its software, and they get paid by the benefits companies directly. Zenefits also offers optional paid modules. Get a specific quote to be sure. Time and attendance tracking in Zenefits Pros/cons Zenefits is one of the most full-featured, free HR products on the market, and with millions in venture-backing has been able to build a really cool, clean tool.

Its business model also means the system is likely to remain free forever, no matter what size team you have. Some users say it can be challenging to perform certain tasks in the software, like creating organizational charts or pulling employee health data. This HR tool is free for five employee logins and ten employee profiles. A web-based software, People also integrates with many of Zoho’s other offerings (and there are ). An employee leave request in Zoho People Pros/cons Zoho is a large, established company, and its HR offering reflects that with its polished look and feel, and functionality that includes time tracking, leave management, and employee information and self-service. That said, the free version is feature-limited and doesn’t include some more advanced features, and storage is limited to 250 MB. Open source HR software 6.

IceHRm offers both a hosted version (which is free for up to five employees, and starts at $2 per employee per month after that) and the ability to host your own instance by downloading the source code for free. IceHRM’s dashboard Pros/cons With one of the more modern user interfaces among the open source contenders, iceHRM comes across as eminently easy-to-use. It covers leave management, time and attendance tracking, employee information, and document upload, as well as the ability to download reports in.CSV format. Robust issue support also helps to make this a strong open source option.

However, as it’s aimed squarely at the smaller end of the market, it may not have the depth of functionality necessary for larger companies. This open source tool is somewhat niche as it is focused primarily on leave and overtime management. However, within those areas, it includes leave and overtime request approvals, built-in reports, organizational structure design, and a calendar to see who’s in and who’s on vacation. Approving leave in Jorani. Pros/cons Jorani is a cleanly designed system that aims to do one thing, and one thing well. If you just need a free leave management and tracking tool, and can host it yourself, it’s a great option.

But if you need other functionality, or a more full-featured and complex tool, Jorani may not be ideal for you. This open source HR software has a paid, SaaS version, which comes with added support and hosting, as well as a free source code version that you can host yourself ( requires registration, but the source code can be downloaded without registering). One of the most popular free HR software products, OrangeHRM is a modular system and also has a marketplace where you can purchase tailored modules and plugins.

OrangeHRM’s performance management module Pros/cons With modules for everything from leave management and recruiting, to performance management and time and attendance tracking, there’s no denying that OrangeHRM is extremely comprehensive. An easy-to-use interface, and the ease with which it can be installed over a pre-existing LAMP stack, make OrangeHRM a good fit for any organization willing to invest the time and resources into hosting an open source HR application. Some users have complained of poor support from Orange if you decide to pay for that option, however. A crowd favorite of a lot of our commenters here on this post, Sentrifugo is an open source HRMS tool with all the features of larger, paid HR software suites.

Sentrifugo offers performance appraisal, employee self-service, lots of built-in reports, leave management, time tracking, and recruiting/interview functionality. The dashboard in Sentrifugo. Pros/cons If you need a solid, comprehensive HR tool, and have the tech savvy to handle an open-source installation, Sentrifugo definitely deserves a look. Many users have compared it to OrangeHRM as far as depth of functionality. That said, some users have also said Sentrifugo can be overly complex, given all the features and modules it offers. Financial Accounting Software Free Download Full. Honorable mention 10.

We’ve mentioned Odoo before in our post on, but it’s worth an honorable mention here as well since it has such a robust HR module (including recruiting, expense management, performance appraisal, and time and attendance tracking). Odoo is free for one app and up to 50 users. Don’t let the fact that it’s more an ERP than a dedicated HR system stop you from taking a look.

More open source and free HR software? Are there any great free or open source HR software products that I somehow missed in this list? Do you use any more role-specific free solutions, like a time tracking tool, which you think are worth mentioning?

Like apptivo, it’s a suite of Apps that you can activate on demand. Here is an overview of main features: – Employee Directory: – Social HR: – Recruitment: – Expenses: – Appraisals: It has around 140 fully integrated apps related to HR covering payroll, timesheets, appraisals, competencies management, lunch order, fleet management, etc. The full list of apps is here. Comment by nenito2k on January 2, 2015 at 12:46 pm JP SENTRIFUGO is extremely goodand has many options even expensive solutions don’t offer!! Problem is it is quite complex and has TOO many things to fill anyway is is not that old i thing it came out in 2013but has already had 6 big updates you can also write to the authors, they answer quicklyplease update review one you test it! In my case i did use it however i returned to orange as it is much more simpleeven if not as extensive the ideal software would be to mix these 2. Comment by subendu das on February 24, 2015 at 3:47 am Well, Leave management and expense management is something which is closely tied together.

Again there are very few open source HR systems which goes beyond the purview of just HR and also incorporates other areas like Recruiting, Expense Management and functional areas like Project Management /Sales into one single application window. Collabrill a newly released application allows one to just do that without having to depend on multiple sources. Currrently its available for free for a limited period for a limited no of sign ups. You can logon to to take advantage of this completely integrated solution. Comment by JP Medved on March 10, 2015 at 3:05 pm Sat, I agree you want to get a quality system not just in terms of the software itself, but also the customer experience. That said, free systems can make a lot of sense to smaller companies, and open-source is a great option for bigger organizations that want a lot of customizability and have the tech resources to handle it.

Nats, there are quite a few free time-clock software options (may be a subject of a future post!). For now, have you considered Time Clock Wizard, TimeClockFree, or Open Time Clock? Comment by Kirill Marchuk on March 19, 2015 at 1:02 am Hi!

I was looking for something open-source that would be great at keeping database of potential employees (HR resource pool, so to say) with an ability to – upload CV – attach multiple competences (best if with level of professionalism, like “C++ skills: good; teamwork: bad”, etc) with the ability to sort and search against – preferably also tags (like, “does not work part-time”, “likes burgers”, “really great guy”, etc) with the ability to search persons with a given tag tags – and of course all regular contact details (Skype, email, phone, socprofiles, etc) Does anything come on mind? Comment by Arlind on July 10, 2015 at 1:26 am Hi, thank you for the great article. First I want to apologize for my bad english. I’m writing from German-speaking Europe We are a painting service company and are looking for a HR software. In Fact we don’t really need a big HR software, we need a software which helps us to allocate our workers to the current projects, so that we can make the week planning.

We have a lot of projects, small ones which take only a few hours and large ones which take many months. We want to be able to easily create our planning day by day without forgetting any of our 30 workers (which happens sometimes.) Do you have any advices or recomondations? Greetings from Vienna, Arlind. Comment by Gregg Morris on July 13, 2015 at 2:31 pm I was wondering if anyone could recommend a service that could help with the following. Employee portal, Employee availability, IOS and android app, cloud based, ability to contact union members by messaging/email for announcements etc, document storage and a home page for the portal that could also provide information to non-union members about us as well as a login for employees. These are just general ideas to help run our local stagehand union especially for making labor calls based on availability.

I have found one possible solution and was just looking to see if anyone had any other direction they might be able to send me in Thanks in advance. Comment by Daniel Nunis on August 1, 2015 at 5:32 am Hi J.P., What an awesome comparison, you are truly a profesional in your expertise and knowledge. I was just looking for a simple HR software system to help out a friend who runs a SME with under 20 employees. He’s been tracking their Leave Management manually with input from his PA etc, and there’s loads of tranfering into Sharepoint etc.

I’m not a HR person, nor do I know much about sytems and software, but could you tell me what’s the difference between the first few softwares mentioned and the Open Sourcewhat is thatapologies for my ignorance. I’m learning something new everytime. Comment by JP Medved on August 3, 2015 at 11:08 am Hi Dan, No worries. The “free/freemium” solutions are usually free but with some limitation (like # of users, or # of employees) above which you’ll need to upgrade to a paid version (like HRTrack), or free but ad-supported (like FreeHR). Open source software means all the source code is available online for free, but that you need to implement/install the software yourself.

Often open source software is not a good idea unless you know a fair bit of programming (or know someone who does). Hope that helps! Comment by Pavlo on August 10, 2015 at 5:45 am Hi, There is a recently started open source time off tracking system: It could be installed locally in customer infrastructure or hosted in a “cloud”. It is quite flexible and allows you to: * organise stuff into departments with line managers * setup custom leave types with or without using employee allowance * have company specific holidays as well as Bank holidays * implement simple workflow of approve/reject request * track peoples days off The project is in early stages and there is a big opportunity to influence upcoming features. Hope people find it useful. Comment by Suwandi on October 1, 2015 at 8:24 am Hi, it’s me again.

Comment by Sat Sindhar on November 7, 2015 at 5:31 pm The real question about free HR software is security. How secure is your data can the vendors provide the sophisticated level of security required if the their model if freemium or if the package you are using is freemium does it reside on a less security environment. We’ve put together the key security policies that companies in this area should have, here is a link to them: At the end of the day when your employees ask you – are my details safe, are they secure, what are you going to say? Comment by Jane Jones on August 15, 2016 at 3:46 am I tried Apptivo and FreeHR before but they were very limited (well what do you expect for free tools, right). These are great tools for stores, probably 2-4 employees but if the business expands, you will be needing more functions. Sometimes, having a tool is better than to hire a person to do that specific job you know.

It’s a hassle especially when it comes to time keeping and payroll. My business is expanding and I’ve been using Ascentis’s Payroll and Timekeeping tools. The thing about premium tools is that they always have tech support that you can count on when technical challenges arise.
