Why buyers look beyond HiBob

  1. Prices by quote only

    HiBob publishes no prices. Its pricing page is a custom-quote request form that asks for company size and modules and states that pricing is per employee.

  2. Minimum commitments

    The order form sets a minimum number of paid users, payable even if headcount falls below it. The Finance module bills the higher of a minimum monthly fee or that minimum.

  3. Services and renewal terms

    Implementation is sold as Professional Services, with non-refundable fees and no published price. Terms auto-renew for 12 months unless notice is given 30 days before renewal.

  4. Native payroll in two countries

    Less suited to employers that want native payroll beyond the US and UK; elsewhere Bob relies on Payroll Hub and payroll integrations.
