Hively review
A broad $49 HR workspace for small teams, with limited platform reach.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hively is an AI-first HR platform for growing teams that want employee administration, attendance, leave, payroll and performance processes in one workspace. Its conversational assistant supports HR actions, while employee profiles, documents, onboarding, offboarding and organizational charts cover core people operations. Small and mid-market teams can also manage shift scheduling, work logs, approval workflows and reporting from the cloud platform.
The pricing structure is straightforward: Hively offers one $49-per-month plan billed monthly, with unlimited employees and every platform feature included. That package covers attendance, leave, shifts and payroll, along with KPIs, goals, performance reviews, feedback and compensation structures. HR reports can be exported in Excel, PDF and CSV formats. A 30-day free trial is available, and a payment card is not required for the trial. For a small team seeking predictable access to a wide set of HR functions, the flat plan is easy to understand.
Hively fits teams that are comfortable working in a web platform and need a focused set of connected services through Slack and Google Calendar. Its feature breadth is notable for a single plan, including GPS attendance, work-from-home detection, payslips, loans, interactive org charts and AI-assisted HR actions. Support is available through email and chat, and GDPR is listed in its compliance posture. Teams that need broader integrations or a wider platform ecosystem should consider a larger HR suite instead; Hively is better suited to small organizations that value consolidated administration over extensive connectivity.
