HRMS with a free open-source edition and paid Advanced edition
Updated
OrangeHRM is a human resource management system (HRMS) for organizations that want core HR, leave, time, recruitment, and performance tools, with a free open-source edition. It began as an open-source project and the Starter edition remains free and self-hostable. The paid Advanced edition adds modules and is priced per employee per month.
Organizations either self-host the open-source Starter edition or subscribe to the Advanced edition, selecting modules a la carte. HR teams maintain employee records and run leave, recruitment, and performance processes in one system. A payroll connector and an API and ESB option link the system to payroll and other applications.
OrangeHRM suits organizations that want a free starting point and the option to self-host, as well as mid-sized companies that need modular HR. IT teams comfortable running software can use the open-source edition. Rostero, a separate product, covers employee scheduling and attendance.
The Starter edition is free and open source. The Advanced edition has a 30-day free trial with no commitment and is priced per employee per month with modules selected a la carte, but its prices are not published; a quote comes after filling out the pricing form.
The vendor lists integrations for authentication, payroll, learning management, and Microsoft 365, plus a Payroll Connector and an API and ESB option. Custom integrations can be requested.
Deel focuses on global hiring and international payroll. BambooHR is a commercial HRIS with a polished interface and no open-source edition. Rippling combines HR with IT management. TriNet is a professional employer organization bundling HR services and benefits.
