Swingvy vs TalentHR (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Swingvy if

• Fits if you run a Singapore business with at least 5 staff
• Works for firms that want CPF payroll next to leave and claims

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're outside Singapore, as pricing and payroll are local
• Tight if you have fewer than 5 users, since plans start at 5
• Watch out: a one-time setup fee applies and the page doesn't show it
• Watch out: time and attendance is marked coming soon

Pick TalentHR if

• Fits if you are a team of 10 or fewer and need HR records and time off without paying
• Works for a team of 15 or more that wants cheap HR with mobile apps

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you are 11 to 14 people, because the free plan stops at 10 and paid plans start at 15 users
• Pricey if you want performance reviews, goals or time tracking, which are Premium at $4
• Watch out: the AI HR assistant is marked beta on the pricing page
• Watch out: Essential adds only assets, Safe voice and custom fields over the free plan

Swingvy

• Prices were read from the Singapore pricing page and are in Singapore dollars, not US dollars.
• Plans start at 5 users and carry a one-time account setup fee whose amount the page does not show.
• Time and attendance is marked coming soon on the pricing page, so it may not be available yet.
• The page says SMEs may get up to 50% grant support through the IMDA EDGE Grant, a Singapore program; it is not a vendor discount.

TalentHR

• Paid plans need at least 15 users and change in steps of 5, so a team of 11 to 14 has no paid option.
• Performance management, goals, time tracking, surveys and document signing are Premium features.
• The free plan stops at 10 users, and the AI HR assistant is marked as a beta feature on the pricing page.
