OpenHRMS review
A broad HR and payroll suite for teams that want deployment and module choice.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenHRMS is an open-source human resource management platform from Cybrosys Technologies Pvt. Ltd. It brings employee records and lifecycle workflows into one system, with attendance, leave management, payroll, appraisals, timesheets, recruitment, documents, reporting, onboarding checklists, and biometric attendance integration. The product is aimed at small, medium-sized, and larger organizations that want broad HR coverage across web, Windows, and Linux environments, with cloud packages or installation on Windows and Ubuntu environments.
The published monthly plans separate core HR from project and payroll capabilities. Open HRMS Base costs $49.90 per month and includes attendance, leave management, employee history, appraisals, biometric device integration, and an HR organizational chart. Adding Project Management costs $59.99 per month and adds attendance regularization, timesheets, project management, and project rating. Base + Payroll costs $79.99 per month and adds payroll, payslip reporting, shift management, gratuity settlement, loan management, and vacation management. The combined Project Management + Payroll plan costs $99.99 per month and includes payroll, project management, employee documents, recruitment, multi-company support, and an HR dashboard. Packages support up to 50 users.
OpenHRMS fits organizations that need HR records, time off, performance tracking, time tracking, onboarding, and payroll in a single product, particularly when biometric attendance devices are part of the operating environment. Its open-source model and installation options may suit teams that want more control over deployment than a strictly hosted HR service provides. The main trade-off is a limited integration list centered on biometric devices, so teams requiring a wider application ecosystem should compare alternatives. Choose OpenHRMS for module breadth and deployment choice; avoid it if a free plan or extensive integrations is essential.
