The first AI HR department for startups and growing companies. It runs onboarding, offboarding, employee changes, documents, compliance, and payroll-ready exports — from a fraction of the cost of your next HR hire. Priced per employee, the way the work actually scales.

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 replace 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.

Does it replace a human HRBP?

No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Mamba 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. Mamba 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. One price per person, everything handled — no modules, no add-ons, no surprise invoices.

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.

Which plan should we choose?

Most growing companies start with HR Ops Manager — it replaces the hire they were about to make. 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.

Marcus Lee$84k redeployed
I budgeted for an HR coordinator this year. Instead we turned on MambaHR — the admin work disappeared, and the salary went to a second engineer. Easiest line item I've ever defended.
