HRX360 Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does HR and payroll software cost in UAE?
HRX360 starts from AED 6 per employee per month on the Standard plan (HR, time, leave, self-service, documents and communication), billed annually. The Professional plan, which adds the full UAE payroll engine, WPS/SIF file generation, gratuity, onboarding and hiring, is AED 14 per employee per month. Monthly billing is available (Standard AED 8, Professional AED 17). Enterprise is a custom proposal. There are no setup fees; standard online implementation and training are included.
What is the difference between the Standard and Professional plans?
Standard covers everyday HR: employee records, documents and expiry alerts, leave, attendance (biometric and mobile geo-tagged clock-in), the employee app, HR requests and letters, announcements and shared files, core reports and the Ask HRX360 assistant. It holds no pay data. Professional adds the full UAE payroll engine with WPS/SIF, payslips, gratuity and EOSB, salary advances, Salary Review and payroll analytics, GL export, benefits, insurance and assets, the audit log, onboarding checklists and hiring with a careers page. Any UAE company that pays salaries needs Professional.
What does the Enterprise plan include, and what does it cost?
Enterprise is everything in Professional plus Projects and Timesheet (multi-project, trade-based pay and site timesheets), performance reviews, a larger hiring allowance (5 open jobs and 500 AI evaluations a month) and a named support contact with defined response targets. It is quoted as a custom proposal with volume pricing on the plan you need, usually for companies with complex integrations, multiple entities or specialist rollout requirements. Employee count alone never forces you onto Enterprise.
What is the minimum number of employees?
Annual plans are billed for a minimum of 10 employees (from AED 60 per month on Standard and AED 140 per month on Professional). Monthly billing is available from a 25-employee minimum (from AED 200 per month on Standard and AED 425 per month on Professional).
Is hiring included? How many jobs can we have open?
Hiring is included on Professional and Enterprise: a careers page, the applicant pipeline, AI evaluation and hire to employee. Professional includes 2 open jobs at a time and 100 AI evaluations a month; Enterprise includes 5 and 500. Candidates per job are unlimited. If you need more on Professional or Enterprise, the Hiring add-on is AED 150 per company per month for 3 more open jobs and 400 more AI evaluations a month.
How many AI data questions are included?
Ask HRX360 AI answers questions from your own records: headcount, Emiratisation, who is absent, expiring documents, hiring and more. Data questions are counted per company per day: 3 on Standard, 20 on Professional and 50 on Enterprise, with more available on request. The how-to guide and the employee AI agent are not limited. An administrator can switch it off for the whole company, and a role permission decides who may ask.
Can we start small and add payroll later as we grow?
Yes. Many startups begin on the Standard plan for HR and employee self-service, then move up to Professional when they are ready to run payroll and WPS in-house. Your data carries over, so there is no need to re-implement when you upgrade.
Why is annual billing the default?
Annual billing gives you the lowest per-employee price: save up to 25% compared with monthly. Annual rates need a 12-month commitment paid upfront. Monthly billing is available if you prefer the flexibility, at a higher per-employee rate.
Are there any setup or implementation fees?
No. Standard online implementation and training are included: company, leave, attendance and payroll configuration for your plan, employee imports from HRX360 templates with your prepared data, self-paced training through the Learning Center and Ask HRX360, and a first payroll walkthrough on payroll plans. Custom integrations, extensive data migration and onsite services are quoted separately.
Is VAT included in the price?
All prices shown are exclusive of VAT. 5% UAE VAT will be added to the final invoice.
Is Employee Self-Service included?
Yes. The employee app is included on every plan. On Standard, employees apply for leave, clock in, see attendance, open their documents and company files, read announcements and raise HR requests. On Professional they also see payslips and salary history, request salary advances, and complete their onboarding checklist.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses go live in around 30 minutes using an AI-guided setup that pre-configures your leave, holidays, pay periods and approval flows. The Learning Center and in-app guides get your HR team started immediately.
Can I get a demo before committing?
Yes. We offer a free live demo where our team walks you through a fully configured test account, including payroll, attendance and WPS. Payroll software needs proper setup to show real value, so we do a personalised demo rather than a blank self-serve trial.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfer and online payment link. A VAT invoice is issued upon confirmation.
Does HRX360 support companies with multiple locations?
Yes. HRX360 supports multi-location and multi-branch setups with separate attendance, leave and payroll reporting per location. Companies that charge crew hours to projects or sites can add Projects and Timesheet on Professional; both are included on Enterprise.
