Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

Cezanne HR is a modular HR system aimed at mid-sized organisations of roughly 50 to 3,000 employees. Modules cover core people management, recruitment, time tracking, absence, performance, compensation, learning and payroll. Fees are a monthly subscription based on the modules chosen and average headcount, and quotes are tailored.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Cezanne HR, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The pricing page mentions a minimum monthly fee without giving it, and the cost moves each month with your modules and headcount.

The report card
Best for UK mid-sized firms wanting one HR system
Cezanne HR is a full HR system covering people records, recruitment, absence, performance and payroll, run from the UK. No price is published. The pricing page mentions a minimum monthly fee without giving it, and the cost moves each month with your modules and headcount.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so the figure is unknown until you ask. The fee changes monthly with modules and headcount, and there is an unstated minimum. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial is on record in the listing or on its pricing page. |
| Features | B | Core people records, recruitment and onboarding, absence and time, performance and payroll. The listing names no gap in the core HR work. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A full HR system with several modules means setup before staff use it. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android apps, in several languages. No integrations list on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Cezanne HR is for
- Fits if you want records, absence, performance and payroll under one UK-run supplier
- Works for firms that want to add modules over time
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to see a price first, as none is published
- Watch out: a minimum monthly fee applies and the page does not say what it is
- Pricey if your headcount swings, since the bill follows last month's average headcount
- Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed
Good to know

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Cezanne HR you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off, applicant tracking, time tracking and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Cezanne HR’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
