Pricing models explained

  • Per employee per month. A rate for each active employee. Easy to forecast if headcount is stable.
  • Per hire. A charge for each new hire onboarded. Fits seasonal or low-volume hiring but penalizes spikes.
  • Base fee + per employee. A platform fee plus a per-person charge. Small teams carry a higher cost per hire.
  • Bundled with HRIS. Onboarding included in an HRIS or payroll subscription, often with fewer workflow options.

Frequently asked questions

How much does onboarding software cost?

Cost depends on the pricing model: per employee, per hire, or a bundle inside an HRIS. Ask for a quote at your actual headcount and hiring volume, and get all implementation and integration fees in writing. The product listings on this page show published prices where vendors disclose them.

Do onboarding platforms charge an implementation fee?

HR Cloud states no implementation fee. HiBob lists one; ask for it in writing with the quote.

Can I pay for onboarding software month to month?

BambooHR and Workable bill month to month. HR Cloud sells annual terms.

How are onboarding platforms priced?

By the published pricing model — per employee: BambooHR and HiBob; tiered plans: Workable; per check: WorkBright.
