Managers approve leave from their phones and the office manager got her Fridays back. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram.
Pros
Approvals route themselves
Cons
Reporting is exports not insight

Solid records and leave, everything else is lighter. Performance tools are check ins, not a real review framework. Support answers on UK hours, so afternoon questions wait overnight.
Pros
No per seat maths ever
Cons
Pound billing moves with the rand

Once our policies got serious the product stayed simple. The band jump doubled our bill for the sake of two hires. Statutory SA leave categories had to be faked with custom types.
Cons
Statutory categories need workarounds

It handles the basics well and the basics are most of it. The leave defaults arrive very British and need proper SA configuration on day one. Exporting for the accountant or a labour consultant takes one click.
Pros
Self service staff records; flat per company pricing, hire freely
Cons
Performance tools are light

Does what we bought it for and little beyond. Pound billing shifts with the exchange rate quarter to quarter. Leave balances calculate themselves and staff check the app instead of asking.
Pros
Company calendar for resourcing; flat per company pricing, hire freely
Cons
Performance tools are light

After 2 years the records are complete, current and findable in seconds. The flat tier absorbed our seasonal staff without a billing surprise. Small companies deserve HR software this straightforward.
Pros
Leave and absence handled cleanly

Happy with the core, aware of the edges. Performance tools are check ins, not a real review framework. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram.

The company calendar shows exactly who is off before we commit to a client deadline. The flat tier absorbed our seasonal staff without a billing surprise. Small companies deserve HR software this straightforward.
Cons
UK hours support

We configured South African leave rules once and it has behaved ever since. The employee self service means staff update their own banking and addresses. Simple, predictable and quietly essential now.
Cons
Reporting is exports not insight

Solid records and leave, everything else is lighter. Pound billing shifts with the exchange rate quarter to quarter. Approvals route to the right manager without anyone maintaining a diagram.
Pros
Setup in a weekend
Cons
Public holidays loaded manually

The flat monthly price means hiring three more people costs nothing extra in software. Exporting for the accountant or a labour consultant takes one click. Performance check ins are light but they happen, which beats heavy and skipped. Simple, predictable and quietly essential now.
Pros
No per seat maths ever; sickness pattern reporting

We are 30 people with no HR department and Breathe quietly became it. Exporting for the accountant or a labour consultant takes one click. The employee self service means staff update their own banking and addresses. Simple, predictable and quietly essential now.

After 3 years it fits, with configured workarounds. There is no employment equity or skills reporting, that stays in spreadsheets.
Pros
Approvals route themselves
Cons
UK hours support

For the price of a lunch per month our people admin is simply handled. Leave balances calculate themselves and staff check the app instead of asking.
Pros
Sickness pattern reporting; light performance check ins
Cons
No employment equity reporting

Support in another time zone tested our patience repeatedly. Statutory SA leave categories had to be faked with custom types.

We configured South African leave rules once and it has behaved ever since. The org chart stays current because the records underneath it do. Leave balances calculate themselves and staff check the app instead of asking.

Solid records and leave, everything else is lighter. The tier boundaries mean one hire can bump the whole monthly price.
