Best for Indian HR and payroll, 50-user minimum
Zimyo is an Indian HRMS with payroll, attendance and apps from ₹80 a user a month. Every plan bills at least 50 users, prices are in rupees without GST, and several modules are extra.
Who Zimyo is for
- Fits if you run an Indian company of 50 or more and want payroll and attendance together
- Works for teams that need selfie attendance on phones
Who Zimyo is not for
- Not for you if you have fewer than 50 people, since every plan bills 50 users at least
- Watch out: prices exclude GST and the page shows no dollar price
- Pricey if you want add-ons: Recruit is ₹4,000 per recruiter a month and HR Analytics ₹20,000 a licence
- Watch out: performance reviews, OKRs and compensation need Enterprise at ₹240
- Skip it if you want discounts spelled out, as yearly figures come from sales

Keep Zimyo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Zimyo 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.
It costs $10.11 a year.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off, applicant tracking, expense 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.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Zimyo’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.
