# HiBob > HR platform for mid-sized global firms, with US and UK payroll HiBob sells Bob, an HR platform built on a required Core module that holds employee data, org structure, self-service and workflows. Talent, Payroll, HR Planning and Finance suites are added on top: hiring, performance reviews, learning, time off and attendance, compensation and workforce planning. It runs its own payroll in the US and UK and syncs data to outside providers elsewhere. - **Category:** HR Software - **Made by:** HiBob (since 2015) - **Website:** https://www.hibob.com - **Runs on:** Web, iOS, Android - **Facts last checked:** Oct 18, 2026 ## Pricing HiBob's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Core HRIS and self-service:** Every customer starts with Core: people data, org charts, requests and approvals, and employee self-service, with localized workflows for global teams. - **Time off and attendance:** Policies for PTO and sick leave, timesheets and clock-in and clock-out, with hours and leave flowing straight into payroll. - **US and UK payroll:** US payroll files taxes in all 50 states on Gusto's embedded engine; UK payroll handles HMRC tax codes, P11Ds, P60s and IR35 contractors. - **Payroll Hub for other providers:** Syncs pay changes to outside payroll systems such as ADP Workforce Now, Paylocity, TriNet and Xero, with a no-code setup for others. - **Hiring, reviews and learning:** An applicant tracking system with access to over 2,300 job boards and a branded careers page, plus 360-degree reviews, goals and courses. - **Bob AI and analytics:** Ask Bob to find pages or answer questions, draft feedback and goals, and summarize reviews; analytics offer over 150 metrics and 35 dashboards. ## Good for - Mid-sized companies with staff in several countries - HR teams that want one record behind hiring, reviews and payroll - US or UK employers wanting HR and payroll in one system ## Worth knowing - 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. HiBob's Bob keeps people data, time off, reviews and hiring on one record, and runs payroll itself in the US and UK. It's built for companies with staff in several countries. But you start with the required Core module, add suites on top, and get a quote for the lot. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published: the pricing page is a demo form, and each company is quoted for the suites it picks on top of the required Core. So we can't say what a ten-person company pays, and with no figure to compare, it's a C. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial. The pricing page is a demo request form. - **Features: B.** Records, org charts and self-service, time off and clock-ins, reviews, learning, hiring, analytics, and US and UK payroll. That's the whole HR job and more, though outside the US and UK it hands pay data to another provider. - **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record, and choosing suites on top of Core and setting up workflows comes with a sales process. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Slack, Google Workspace, ADP Workforce Now, Paylocity, TriNet and Xero. No desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from HiBob's own pages on 18 October 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among HR software - HiBob's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 1 of the 9 other HR software we grade, and level with 3. - It stands best on features (B, above 1 of 9) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace HiBob 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 5 of the 9 other HR software grade higher. - You could make: Employee records, time off, applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Slack, Google Workspace and ADP Workforce Now among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
