## Compare pricing for the top HR software products with the highest value-for-money and functionality ratings.

We hear from software buyers time and again that two of their top considerations when investing in a new human resource (HR) solution are price and functionality. Budget is a constraint for most businesses, but affordability alone doesn't make a product valuable—it must also offer the functionality you need.

In this report, we've ranked the most valuable HR software products based on verified user reviews—those with the highest ratings for both value for money and functionality. We also break down the starting cost and relevant pricing details for each product. [Read more](#methodology).

## Top HR software rated on value for money and functionality 

The graphic below shows products that have the highest value-for-money and functionality ratings based on user reviews in Capterra’s [HR software directory](https://www.capterra.com/human-resource-software/). Products are arranged in increasing order of their value-for-money ratings (bottom to top) and functionality ratings (left to right).

**_Note_**_: While products in the top-right zone of the graph rank higher in terms of both functionality and value-for-money ratings, all products in this graph are top rated._

## Price comparison for top-rated HR software

Comparing pricing and functionality for multiple software solutions can be a time-consuming task. We’ve created a table to highlight how different HR software products stack up against each other in terms of starting pricing, free trials, and free versions, allowing you to compare these products in one place.

From the 25 products mapped on the scatter plot above, only those with publicly available pricing information on vendor websites are listed in the price comparison table below.

**_Note_**_: Products are listed in alphabetical order, and the pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering (discounted pricing not considered) found on vendor websites as of March 2, 2023. The cost of these HR software products may vary based on the features, such as the number of employees supported, leave management, onboarding, and payroll._
