Skuad is a hrms software product from Skuad (Payoneer), Singapore, priced at ₹1,500/mo. We compared 20 alternatives on published price, free plan, platforms and made-in-India support: 0 have a free plan, 6 are built in India, and 6 start cheaper or free.
Start with payroll. If the statutory side is wrong, nothing else matters — ask the vendor to run a live payroll for a sample employee in your state and show you the PF, ESI and PT calculations.
Next, check how attendance actually reaches the system. Biometric device integration, geo-tagged mobile check-in and shift rostering are three very different problems, and most vendors are strong at one and weak at the others.
Finally, look at what happens at scale. Many Indian HRMS products are priced per employee per month with a floor of fifty or a hundred employees, which makes them expensive for a twenty-person team and cheap for a five-hundred-person one.
