Questions
Pricing questions.
The details that usually matter before a team chooses a plan.
How much does HollyHR cost for a small UK team?
HollyHR Free is £0 for organisations with up to 10 active employees. Standard is £2 per active employee per month, or £20 per active employee per year. Standard bills every active employee, including the first 10. Applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.
What happens when a Free team reaches 11 active employees?
Free is available only while an organisation has 10 or fewer active employees. At 11 active employees, Standard is required and costs £22 per month, or £220 per year. There is no headcount band jump: each additional active employee changes the monthly Standard price by £2.
Do charities and non-profits get a discount?
Yes. Eligible charities and approved non-profits get 50% off Standard, making it £1 per active employee per month before applicable tax. The same discount will apply to Plus when it launches; its planned discounted price is £2 per active employee per month. Apply through our contact form so eligibility can be checked before a private checkout code is issued. Fair-use boundaries apply.
What counts as an active employee?
Billing follows current active employment, not sign-in access. A profile counts while its employment timeline is active. Profiles mapped as volunteers under the organisation's published engagement policy do not count; profiles without current active employment do not count either.
What happens to my bill when employees join or leave?
On Standard, if active employees rise above the quantity already billed in the current monthly or annual period, the additional amount is prorated for the rest of that period. When a leaver's employment ends, their profile stops counting; that lowers the quantity used at the next renewal but does not create a mid-period credit. If a replacement's employment becomes active before renewal and the team stays within the quantity already billed, there is no extra charge. Any charity or non-profit discount continues to apply.
How does the 30-day Standard trial work?
Eligible Free organisations can use one 30-day Standard trial without a card. When it ends, Standard access ends automatically, your data remains in HollyHR and Free plan limits apply. You can export your organisation data or upgrade to Standard.
Can I cancel Standard?
Yes. Cancel through billing settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and paid access continues until then. Your records are retained and organisation export remains available; Free eligibility still depends on the Free plan limits.
Are taxes included in the displayed price?
The displayed prices are business prices before applicable taxes. HollyHR calculates and shows the applicable tax during checkout using the billing details you provide.
Is Plus available now?
No. Plus is a coming-soon plan at £4 per active employee per month, or £40 per active employee per year when it launches. Plus will add rota and time tracking plus performance reviews, goals and one-to-ones; it is not available to buy today.
