sumHR review
A low-cost Indian HRMS covering core records, payroll, attendance and performance workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
sumHR is a cloud-based HR management system for organizations and HR teams that need one place for employee records, onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll processing for India, documents, expenses and performance workflows. It is available on the web, Android and iOS, making it suitable for Indian teams that want basic HR administration with mobile access. The feature set spans employee profiles, exit checklists, time tracking, leave policies, HR letters, expense claims, feedback forms, OKRs and helpdesks.
The pricing structure is straightforward across three annual-billing tiers. Startup costs INR 49 per user per month and includes employee self-service, onboarding, an HRIS employee database, attendance and leaves, automated payroll processing and a mobile app. Basic costs INR 69 per user per month and adds expense claims, a policy centre, HR checklists, HR letters and email templates, plus biometric attendance integration. Advanced costs INR 119 per user per month and adds HR, IT and finance helpdesks, OKRs, goals, KRAs and KPIs, asset management, 360-degree performance reviews, an HR drive and digital signatures. The plans can be free with Jupiter Salary Accounts, subject to the applicable terms.
For teams with broader people-operations needs, Advanced brings together performance, assets, documents and internal support workflows rather than focusing only on attendance and payroll. The platform also connects with biometric devices, which may suit organizations using device-based attendance. Its main trade-off is ecosystem breadth: the listed integrations are limited, so companies needing a wider integration network may need another product. sumHR fits Indian teams seeking affordable core HR coverage and a progression from records to performance management. It is less suitable for buyers prioritizing extensive third-party connections or a less conditional free option.
