HiBob vs Oneteam (2026): which should you pick?

Pick HiBob if

• Fits if your staff are spread across several countries
• Works for US or UK employers that want HR and payroll in one system

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before a demo, as the pricing page is a demo form
• Skip it if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan and no trial
• Pricey if you need more than Core, as Talent, Payroll, Planning and Finance are each bought separately
• Not for you if you want it to run payroll outside the US and UK, where it passes data to another provider
• Watch out: there's no desktop app, only the web and phone apps

Pick Oneteam if

• Fits if you have 100 or more frontline staff who need a work app on their phones
• Works for retail, hospitality or logistics firms that want chat and training in one app

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you have under 100 people, as every plan has a 100-user minimum
• Watch out: connecting an existing partner costs €500 once, and a new HR or WFM link €2,500
• Pricey if you want a fully branded app, at €200 a month per platform
• Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed
• Watch out: the page does not say whether prices are billed monthly or annually

HiBob

• No prices are published: the pricing page is a demo request form, and each company is quoted for the suites it picks.
• Core is required, and Talent, Payroll, Planning and Finance are bought as separate suites on top of it.
• Runs its own payroll only in the US and the UK; in other countries it passes data to an outside payroll provider.

Oneteam

• Every plan has a minimum of 100 users; the pricing page does not say whether prices are billed monthly or annually.
• Prices are in euros, not dollars, and no free plan or trial is listed; a free account comes with a demo request.
• Connecting an existing integration partner costs a one-time €500 set-up fee, and a new HR or WFM integration costs €2,500.
• A fully white-labeled app costs €200 per month per platform (iOS and Android) on Essential and Professional.
