Pricing
Before you hire HR, hire MambaHR.
Most HR software stores your people data. MambaHR does the work: onboarding, leave and compliance, approvals, and offboarding, run end to end, with payroll-ready exports kept clean, for a fraction of what running it by hand costs. Priced per employee, the way the work actually scales.
Illustrative at 100 employees, using published US salary ranges for the same admin workload. Your numbers will differ; we will price yours on the call.

Compare the cost
Cheaper than doing it by hand.
Real HR execution for a fraction of what it costs to staff the same work. And when you do hire, they inherit a running department instead of a backlog.
Simpler than Rippling. Faster than Workday. More execution than BambooHR. Cheaper than doing it by hand. See the comparisons →
The implementation confidence guarantee
If MambaHR isn’t set up and doing useful HR work within 30 days, we extend your first year at no additional cost until it is.
No rip-and-replace
Keep your payroll. We feed it.
MambaHR doesn’t process payroll or administer benefits today, and we say that plainly. What it does is keep all the work around them clean: every hire, change, and exit lands in a ready-to-load file for your payroll provider, benefits broker, or PEO. Nothing missed, nothing re-keyed.

Straight answers
No fine print tricks.
Is MambaHR software or an HR department?
It’s your HR department. There’s a system underneath, records, documents, audit trails, but you’re not buying screens to click. You’re buying the work: onboarding done, changes processed, questions answered, exports ready. You approve the big calls.
Can it do the work of our first HR hire?
For most teams under 250 people, yes, that’s the job it was built for. It does the repeatable work that forces an early HR hire: records, onboarding, offboarding, changes, documents, manager questions. When you do hire HR, they start with a running department instead of a backlog, and they spend their first month on people rather than cleanup.
Does it replace a human HRBP?
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. MambaHR runs the repeatable HRBP-level work, performance cycles, compliance checks, documentation, manager support. Investigations, sensitive employee relations, and legal judgment stay with qualified humans. The big calls are always yours.
Does it process payroll or run our benefits?
Not today, and we say that plainly. MambaHR keeps the work around payroll and benefits clean and delivers ready-to-load files to your existing provider, broker, or PEO. No rip-and-replace, no missed changes.
Why a per-employee price?
Because that’s how the work scales. Every employee brings questions, time off, reviews, and paperwork. Every plan is one simple per-employee price, and your price grows only as your team grows. Payroll and global hiring are optional add-ons. Each plan includes an annual allowance of completed HR work, sized well above what teams typically use, and if you go past it, nothing stops.
What does the minimum mean?
Each plan has an annual minimum so we can put real depth behind every account. If the per-employee math comes in under it, the minimum applies. Most teams clear it quickly as they grow. Headcount is reviewed quarterly against your average, so if your team grows mid-year, the difference is billed for the remaining months and your included allowance grows with it.
Which plan should we choose?
Most growing companies start with HR Ops Manager, it covers the workload they were about to staff. Choose Starter if you mainly need records, answers, and clean exports. Choose AI HR Department when compliance, performance, and workforce changes need to run themselves too.
Is founding customer pricing real?
Yes, for the first 20 companies. Founding customers get discounted annual pricing, onboarding directly with the founders, and priority input into the roadmap. When the 20 seats are gone, they’re gone.
12 hrs back / weekMy whole budget was about to go on admin coverage. MambaHR took the admin instead, and I finally got to build the programs I was hired to build. Easiest line item I've ever defended.
