Free HR Software for Teams of 1-5
Everything you need to manage your small team — employee data, leave, attendance, payroll — completely free. Forever.
When you have 1-5 employees, buying expensive HR software feels like overkill. But managing everything on spreadsheets wastes hours every month. SnapHRM solves this with a free plan that includes every feature — employee management, leave tracking, attendance, payroll, and recruiting. No credit card, no trial period, no feature locks. Just sign up and start using it.
Most HR software is built for companies with 50 or 500 employees — and priced accordingly. If you run a small team of 1-5 people, you don't need complex approval workflows or multi-entity payroll. You need the basics done right: a place to store employee information, track who's on leave, mark attendance, and generate payroll without manual calculations.
SnapHRM's free plan covers all of this. You get an employee database, leave management with automatic balance tracking, attendance with clock-in/out, one-click payroll with salary components and deductions, and even an applicant tracking system for when you're ready to hire. Employees get their own self-service portal to view payslips and apply for leave — so they're not constantly messaging you on WhatsApp.
Unlike greytHR's free plan which locks most features behind paid tiers, SnapHRM gives you everything free. When you grow beyond 5 employees, paid plans start at just ₹499/month.
The Challenge
Common HR problems at this stage of growth
Spreadsheets Don't Scale
Tracking employee data, leave balances, and salary in Google Sheets works for 2 people. By 5, it's a mess of tabs, formulas, and version conflicts.
Most HR Tools Are Too Expensive
Enterprise HR software charges per employee per month. For a team of 3, you're paying for features you'll never use. You need something built for your size.
No Time for HR Admin
In a micro team, everyone wears multiple hats. You can't afford to spend hours on leave tracking, attendance, or payroll every month.
