Core brings everyday HR together, with AI included when you want it. Growth adds hiring automation, unmetered AI drafting, deeper analytics and connections to your other tools. Business adds compensation, prediction and governance.
People prices are in USD per active employee. Annual plans are paid yearly. Applicable sales tax or VAT is added at checkout.
Growth takes the meter off AI drafting, automates your next hire and connects Sparko to the rest of your stack.
One sentence builds the hiring plan, checks it against the offer and local rules, and runs it to day one with checkpoints you review.
Applicants are screened as they arrive, rules first with AI on borderline cases, and an adverse-impact report checks the results.
Draft reviews, job descriptions, offer letters and courses as often as you need. The assistant includes 5 actions per active employee a month, pooled.
Run peer-survey rounds and get anonymity-preserving themes for each review.
Turnover and retention by cohort and department, DEI analytics with a group-size floor, and a report builder you can save, pin, share and export.
Overtime thresholds, carryover rules, custom leave types and per-country overrides, plus probation check-ins at 30, 60 and 90 days and an AI Career Coach for every employee.
A read-only API, signed webhooks for 5 live events and a read-only MCP server, with up to 5 paying entities, priority chat support with a 12-hour response time, guided onboarding and 5 days of migration help.
Choose your headcount and billing period. Each plan’s minimum is included.
Includes each plan’s minimum. USD before applicable tax. Legal is priced separately, and Books is in beta.
Each allowance is shared across your workspace. One person can use more, while the total stays visible to admins.
