A simpler Keka alternative for small teams.
Keka is a broad HR platform covering areas such as hiring, performance and engagement on top of core HR and payroll, and is aimed at growing and mid-sized companies. TinyHR is HR and payroll for founders who never wanted an HR department: employees, leave, attendance, documents and payslips, for a flat ₹2,999 a year.

Why teams look for something lighter
You don't need an HR department's toolkit
A founder-run team of a few dozen rarely needs a full talent suite. TinyHR keeps to the six things a small team uses every month and leaves the rest out on purpose.
Simple, flat pricing
One price of ₹2,999 a year, with no per-seat maths and no sales call to get a quote.
Live in an afternoon
Import a spreadsheet, invite your team and you are running. There is no implementation partner to schedule.
When Keka is the better choice
TinyHR is deliberately small. Stay with Keka if:
- You are hiring heavily and need recruitment and performance management in the same system.
- You expect to pass 30 employees soon.
Questions
Is TinyHR a lighter alternative to Keka?
Yes. TinyHR deliberately does less: employees, leave, attendance, documents and payroll basics. If you want the full talent stack, Keka is the better fit.
What happens if we outgrow TinyHR?
The cap is 30 employees. If you grow past that, export everything and move to a bigger suite. You leave with your data.
How much does TinyHR cost?
₹2,999 per year after a 30-day free trial. No setup fee, no per-seat charge and no charge for extra companies.
