Cintra People review
A connected HR and payroll platform for UK organisations that need broad people operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cintra People is a cloud-based HR and payroll platform for UK organisations. It brings employee records, organisational data, leave and absence requests, onboarding and offboarding checklists, performance reviews, time tracking, expenses, reporting and employee self-service into one system. Employees can update personal information, request leave, view documents, complete tasks and clock in or out. It is suited to organisations seeking connected HR operations across web, iOS, Android and API access.
Its breadth is a central strength. The platform supports approval workflows for leave and absence, goals and development tracking, working hours and timesheets, compliance tracking, dashboards and payroll integration. Integrations with Xero, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Greenhouse, TeamTailor, DocuSign and Slack extend its fit across finance, productivity, recruitment, document signing and communication workflows. Native mobile apps and employee self-service also support distributed access to routine HR tasks.
Pricing is quote-based, and there is no free plan. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card, giving prospective customers a defined evaluation period before contacting sales or proceeding. The product is a strong fit for UK organisations that want records, people processes, time, expenses and payroll-related workflows connected in one platform. Organisations seeking a free HR system or a publicly itemised pricing structure should consider an alternative. Cintra People is also better suited to buyers prepared to assess the available configuration and package for their organisation, since features can vary by setup.
