THE SHORT ANSWER

What HR software does a 10-person team need?

A 10-person company needs one dependable place for people records, leave, sickness, documents and working patterns, with self-service and permissions but without an enterprise implementation project.

At ten people, the core HR record and self-service remain £0, with a published route to Standard when the team grows.

Price at this headcount

10 employees are £0 per month on Free.

Free covers up to 10 active employees with no trial clock. If you choose a paid plan, Standard would cost £20 per month at this headcount, and Plus will cost £40 per month when it launches. Prices are before applicable tax.

At 10 employees

Ten people need a system, but not an enterprise project.

This is where informal updates become easy to miss and the first manager permissions may start to matter.
People, dates and documents
Free core HR

Memory no longer reaches everyone

Ten people create enough starters, leave requests and document changes for informal tracking to miss something important.

Manager visibility

The first manager layer may be forming

Routine approvals need a clear route without giving every manager access to the complete HR record.

Employee self-service

This is the Free limit, not a trial

The Free plan covers up to 10 active employees with no trial clock, so you can establish clean records before the next hire.

Questions before you switch

Straight answers to common questions.

Check the practical details before deciding whether HollyHR fits your team.
How much is HollyHR for 10 employees?

The Free plan is £0 for up to 10 active employees. There is no card requirement or trial clock for Free.

What happens when the eleventh employee joins?

Move to Standard to keep ordinary editing available above 10 active employees. At 11 active employees, Standard costs £22 per month before applicable tax. Your records and exports remain available if you do not upgrade.

Can employees and managers have their own access?

Yes. Employees can use the self-service available to their role, while managers can receive the team context and actions they need. That does not give either group blanket access to confidential HR records.

Can we export our records if our needs change?

Yes. Authorised administrators can prepare an organisation export with the supported record datasets and eligible uploaded files. Export remains available if the account later becomes read-only.

Can we import an existing staff spreadsheet?

Yes. HollyHR supports CSV import for the core people dataset. Start with a clean source file, check the mapped fields and keep the original until the imported records have been reviewed.

Start free with up to 10 active employees.

Bring your team over from a spreadsheet. There is no card, no sales call and no lock-in. For up to 10 active employees, everyday HR is free.
