HR.my stands out for one reason: it is free with unlimited employees and unlimited storage, and it has no paid tier to push you toward. The feature list is broad for the price. Managers approve leave and PTO requests, employees see their balances, the system keeps historical records of salary adjustments and job changes and flags contract expiry, payroll generates payslips on monthly, semi-monthly, weekly or bi-weekly cycles, and expense claims take receipts with limits per type. A time clock records attendance, overtime and lateness, with optional selfie and location capture. The site says the service is crowdfunded by its users, which keeps it free but makes the long-term roadmap harder to judge. The interface looks older than the hosted tools above, and onboarding workflows are not a highlight. For a team that has outgrown a 10 user free cap and will not pay yet, it is a practical fallback.
Who it is for
Budget-only teams that want leave, attendance and basic payroll free with no headcount limit.
Price
