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.
