BoardFlow vs HollyHR

BoardFlow is a freemium browser tool that records workflows and turns them into role-based onboarding guides. Its Chrome extension captures clicks, form inputs, page navigation and tab switches across browser tabs. Generated guides contain numbered titles, plain-English descriptions, URLs and screenshots, and can be edited before publication. Organizations assign guides to teams and positions so employees receive relevant checklists, while owners and managers can view completion status. Public links allow viewing without an account. BoardFlow also describes timestamped, exportable workflow documentation with screenshots for audit use. The web app for guides, team management and checklists runs in any modern browser without installation. The Free plan includes one team, 10 guide recordings, Chrome recording and public sharing links. Pro costs $5 a month and includes three teams, 50 recordings total, unlimited members, advanced progress tracking and priority support. Business costs $15 a month with 20 teams and 100 recordings; organization dashboards are marked as coming soon. Recordings are stored on BoardFlow’s servers.

HollyHR is core HR software for small UK teams, bringing people records, working patterns, leave, documents, starter processes and reports together. Teams can manage leave requests and approvals, balances, sickness records and UK public holidays, with a shared Who’s Away calendar. Reusable onboarding packs create individual journeys with due dates and owners; private files, right-to-work evidence and policy acknowledgements stay with employee records. Built-in headcount, turnover and time-off reports export as CSV or PDF. Organisation export includes CSV data, available uploaded files and a manifest. HollyHR connects with services including Zapier, Make, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Claude, Google Calendar, Outlook and Xero Payroll UK, with differing capabilities and availability. Approved leave can be sent to Xero after employees and leave types are matched, but salary, tax, bank, pay-run and employee-creation data do not sync. API reads and signed webhooks are available on every plan; creating records through the API or integrations requires Standard and System Admin permission. A free plan covers up to 10 active employees; Standard starts at £2/user/mo. The service runs on web and through an API.
