SnapHRM vs Keka

Keka is one of India's popular HR platforms, known for payroll and compliance features. Its plans — Foundation, Strength and Growth — are priced per employee per month (₹90, ₹120 and ₹150 respectively) and sold as bundles with a minimum monthly commitment, which makes it better suited to mid-size companies than to a team of ten. SnapHRM delivers the same core HR features with flat tier pricing that starts free.

Key advantages that make SnapHRM the better choice for your team
