BambooHR charges $250+/mo and assumes you have an HR team. ZiggyHR gives you employee profiles, PTO tracking, digital onboarding, and compliance tools for $49/mo— and you're running in minutes.
$250+/mo to manage 20 people. You don't need enterprise HR — you need something that just works at a price that makes sense.
New hire docs in email, PTO in a shared calendar, I-9s in a filing cabinet. It works until it doesn't — and it usually stops working at the worst moment.
Rippling, Workday, ADP — they're built for 500+ employee companies. If you have 15 people, you're paying for features you'll never touch.
Built for business owners who handle HR alongside everything else — not for dedicated HR departments.
A clean, searchable directory for your whole team. Photos, roles, contact info, departments — and an auto-generated org chart that's always current.
Employees request time off in the app. You approve or deny. Balances update automatically. No more email chains or shared spreadsheets.
Collect documents and e-sign offer letters before day one. New hires complete everything remotely — you show up to the first day ready to go.
Run structured performance reviews with peer feedback, self-assessments, and manager notes. Track growth over time without reinventing the process.
Built-in I-9 and W-4 collection with compliance guidance. Stay audit-ready without a dedicated compliance officer.
Share company news, policy updates, and handbooks in one place. Track who's read and acknowledged each document.
When someone leaves, trigger a checklist: revoke access, collect equipment, process final paperwork. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Headcount over time, turnover rate, PTO usage, time-to-hire. The data you need to make smart people decisions. Available on Scale plan.
We ship fast. Here's what's already in development.
Connect your payroll provider directly. Run payroll from inside ZiggyHR — no more exporting CSVs and copy-pasting between systems.
Let employees enroll in health, dental, and vision coverage without the paperwork. Track elections and carrier connections in one place.
Post jobs, track applicants, schedule interviews, and move candidates through your hiring pipeline — all without leaving ZiggyHR.
Every business type has different HR needs. ZiggyHR covers them all.
Crew management, safety certifications, compliance docs, and contractor records — all in one place.
Manage shift workers, handle seasonal hiring, and reduce the chaos of high-turnover environments.
Credentialing, compliance documentation, and per-diem staff management without the enterprise HR stack.
Onboard remote teams, manage contractor-to-hire transitions, and track equity-related HR milestones.
Teacher onboarding, certification tracking, substitute staff records, and background check coordination.
Maintenance staff, leasing agents, and vendor contractors — all tracked in a single HR system.
Part-time worker records, background check tracking, and scheduling coordination without the spreadsheet chaos.
Warehouse staff records, driver compliance logs, and DOT documentation — organized and accessible.
