How Much Does an HRIS Cost?

[Updated on 8/26/2020]

How much does an HRIS cost? This answer can vary from $6-12 PEPM for a basic tool without payroll functionality, to as much as $20-30 PEPM for a more robust all-in-one HRIS system.

Dozens of “software advisory” websites promise to share pricing information with you. However, most operate on a very deceiving business model.

In order to see the pricing information, you have to fill out a form. That website, then, sells your contact info to the HRIS vendors who have agreed to pay them for leads.

Unsurprisingly, the vendors you get “matched with” aren’t usually the best matches, they’re simply the ones who were willing to pay for your contact info.

While OutSail is also a free service, we operate completely differently from those sites.

We help our clients through every stage of their buying experience: requirements building, shortlisting, vendor evaluations, negotiations and more.

We’re also more transparent about how we get paid: If you sign a contract with a vendor that OutSail recommended, that vendor owes us a small fee for making the introduction.

The important things for you to know are:

• No hidden fees. Vendors do not pass this cost along to you. Instead, it comes from their sales & marketing budget.
• No preferred vendors. We have partnerships with over 120 HR software vendors including every major vendor in the market.
• Satisfaction guarantee. If you're unhappy with a purchase that we recommended, we will give our introduction bonus to you to help with your next purchase.
  

If you are going through an HRIS buying process, it might be worth reaching out and learning more about all of the free services we can provide, but since we’re not interested in making a cheap buck by selling your contact info, we have no problem sharing real HRIS pricing information without you having to give us any details!
