Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 63 other HR software we grade
Simployer is an HR platform for companies in the Nordics, covering documents and e-signing, time and absence, onboarding, reviews and people analytics, with an AI assistant called Sia. It is priced per employee on two packages, Essential and Complete, with the price given after a call.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Simployer, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It comes with an onboarding call and settings to configure, so it is a C.

The report card
Best for HR software built around Nordic law
Simployer is HR software with an AI assistant and Nordic labour law built in, offered in English, Swedish and Norwegian. It publishes no prices, offers no free plan or trial, and wants a 30-minute call first, which puts it out of reach for anyone outside the Nordics.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so there is nothing to compare with the $5 category middle. A price comes after a 30-minute call. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on the pages read; you book a demo. |
| Features | C | Core HR, an assistant, reviews, automation and expert support. Recruitment is an add-on and Learn is sold separately. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It comes with an onboarding call and settings to configure, so it is a C. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with Microsoft Teams and Slack as the two named connections. |
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 Simployer is for
- Fits if you employ people in the Nordics and want local law built in
- Works for HR teams that want an assistant and expert support included
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you need a price before talking to anyone, as none is published
- Skip it if you are outside the Nordics: the pages are written around Nordic law
- Watch out: recruitment is an add-on and Learn is sold separately
- Not for you if you want to try it first: no free plan or trial is listed
Good to know
Good for
- Companies with 50 to 500 employees in the Nordics
- Teams that want employment-law guidance alongside the software
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the page offers a price after a 30-minute call.
- Recruitment is an add-on to Essential, and Learn is sold separately.
- The vendor's pages are aimed at Nordic law and the languages offered are English, Swedish and Norwegian.

What it costs

Simployer's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No free plan and no trial on the pages read; you book a demo.
We could not confirm Simployer’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. simployer.com has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
1/63
Other HR software it is graded above
Simployer's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 1 of the 63 other HR software we grade, and level with 11.
It stands best on value for money (C, above 5 of 63) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

Every bar is all 64 HR software we grade, cut by the letter each got. Simployer’s own letter is outlined.

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 Simployer you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. 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: 51 of the 63 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Simployer’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.
