HollyHR vs Runtime HRMS

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.

Runtime HRMS is a cloud HR management service with employee records, time-off management, onboarding, performance management, and time tracking. It offers Android and iOS apps, and browser access through modern browsers such as Chrome or Edge. The free plan is for up to five employees, and plans include a seven-day trial without requiring a credit card. Paid subscriptions are based on employee count and selected plan or features, with billing calculated for at least 10 employees even if an organization has fewer. Listed annual-billing rates include Seed at ₹35 per month, Growth at ₹50 per month, and Scale at ₹75 per month; features vary by plan. Runtime HRMS includes more than 50 MIS reports and can generate reports from natural-language instructions. Integrations include Microsoft Entra ID, SpringVerify, Zwitch, email services, and local biometric systems. Biometric integration requires the database to be stored locally on a PC; cloud biometrics are not supported. One free onboarding session is provided, with recordings available in the HR Portal. Runtime Software Private Limited is headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
