BrightHR pricing considerations
Paid plans / trial
Use the selected workforce size and regional package in a written quote. Check taxes, optional services and renewal or contract conditions; dynamic calculator output is not a universal price.
A free demonstration is offered. Core HR and additional services are paid packages rather than an unrestricted free HR plan.
Calculate costs from your vendor quote →What to check before choosing
- Core HR software, employment-law services and health-and-safety products have different scopes.
- A Payroll Navigator is not automatically a complete managed payroll service.
Test the same sample work, confirm your required plan and check how to export your data before committing.
