Before you buy
What to check before you buy
“Free” usually means one of four things
A permanently free tier with hard limits; a free trial that expires; a free plan for a single user that breaks the moment a second person joins; or open-source software that is free to licence but costs money to host and maintain. Establish which one you are being offered before you build a process on it.
Check the limit that will actually bite you
Free tiers are limited by the thing you will run out of first — invoices per month, contacts, users, storage, or the one feature your workflow depends on. Find that number before you migrate data in, because migrating out later is the expensive part.
Confirm your data is portable
The cost of a free plan is switching cost. Before committing, export everything and look at what you get. If the export is a PDF rather than structured data, treat the product as harder to leave than it appears.
FAQs
Free HRMS software in India — questions buyers ask
Which hrms software is free in India?+
13 products on App Advisor match. The most compared are greytHR, Zoho People, Kredily. 12 are built in India, which usually means GST, TDS and statutory updates ship as routine releases and support runs in your timezone. Every listing shows the vendor's own published pricing.
What is the cheapest hrms software in this list?+
Zoho People has the lowest published starting price at ₹48/mo. Compare on total first-year cost rather than the headline — user minimums, implementation and usage-metered extras such as SMS or WhatsApp credits often matter more than the licence.
Does App Advisor charge for this shortlist?+
No. App Advisor is free for buyers and takes no payment for ranking. Products are ordered by how much buyers compare them and by our rating, never by what a vendor pays.
How current is this list?+
The list is generated from our live catalogue, so it changes as products, pricing and free plans change. Pricing shown is the vendor's own published figure — always confirm current terms directly before you buy.
