Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 72 of the 101 other HR software we grade
Zimyo is an HR and payroll platform from India, sold in three per-user tiers with a 50-user minimum. Core HR, attendance and payroll come first, and higher tiers add onboarding, engagement, expenses and performance. Recruiting, analytics, learning and AI tokens are priced as separate add-ons, all in Indian rupees.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Zimyo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Payroll and attendance rules have to be set up, and the trial has limited features.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $0.84 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: ₹80 per user / month, minimum 50 users.
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial with limited features, no card required.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Core HR and attendance

- 6
Payroll

- 7
Engagement and self-service
Standard adds a feed, chat, surveys, feedback and recognition, and employees use Android and iOS apps for self-service.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 72 of 101
That is against the other HR software we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | ₹80 a user a month on Basic, but billed for at least 50 users, so the floor is ₹4,000 a month. No dollar price is shown, and a small team cannot buy fewer seats. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day trial with limited features and no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Core HR, attendance, payroll, engagement and performance, spread across three plans. Recruit, HR Analytics and Learn are paid add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Payroll and attendance rules have to be set up, and the trial has limited features. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android apps, but no integrations are listed in our 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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Indian companies with 50 or more employees
- Teams starting on payroll and attendance and adding modules later
- Firms needing multi-entity or multi-country payroll
Worth knowing
- Prices are in Indian rupees and exclude GST; there is no dollar price on the page.
- Every plan bills at least 50 users, so the lowest monthly total is ₹4,000 on Basic.
- Add-ons cost extra: Recruit ₹4,000 per recruiter per month, HR Analytics ₹20,000 per license per month, Learn ₹40 per user per month.
- The page says half-yearly and yearly discounts exist but gives no figures; those come from sales.

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 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.2 is higher than 72 of the 101 other HR software we grade. 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.
