Where Kredily is strong
To be fair, Kredily's free plan is genuinely generous. It is one of the few Indian HR tools that is free forever for unlimited employees, and it covers the core an office SMB needs: payroll with PF, ESI, PT and TDS, attendance, leave, employee self-service and compliance. It has a large user base and is a good starting point for a single-office company that wants to move off spreadsheets without paying anything.
Its design centre is general office HR and payroll, not a workforce deployed across many client sites.
Where ZeniaHR is different
Because both tools are free at the entry point, the real question is fit. ZeniaHR is built for businesses that deploy workers across client sites, and that changes the workflow.
- Attendance is captured at the post, biometric and geo-tagged, per client, and flows into payroll.
- Per-client invoicing is built in, so you bill each client for the man-days deployed there.
- Contract-labour (CLRA) compliance and worker transfers between clients are first-class.
- Free for your first 100 workers, with the manpower workflow built in rather than added on.
See how it works for security agencies, facility management, or the manpower software overview.
Which should you pick?
Pick Kredily if you are a single-office SMB that wants free, general HR and payroll for your own employees and do not bill clients per deployed worker.
Pick ZeniaHR if you place workers across multiple client sites and need multi-site attendance, contract-labour compliance and per-client invoicing, also free to start. See ZeniaHR pricing or book a demo.
Built only for manpower & staffing
Run multi-site attendance, payroll, PF/ESI compliance and per-client invoicing on one worker record. Free for your first 100 workers.
Frequently asked questions
Is ZeniaHR a good Kredily alternative?
For manpower and staffing firms, yes. Both offer free plans, but Kredily is general office HR and payroll, while ZeniaHR is built for deployed workforces, with multi-site attendance, contract-labour compliance and per-client invoicing on one worker record.
Is Kredily really free?
Yes. Kredily offers a free-forever plan for unlimited employees, with paid plans for advanced features. ZeniaHR is also free at the entry point, for up to 100 workers, with the manpower deployment and client-billing workflow built in.
What does ZeniaHR add for a manpower business?
Attendance captured at each client post, per-client man-day invoicing reconciled against payroll, contract-labour (CLRA) registers, and worker transfers between clients on one record. These are workflows a general office HRMS is not built around.
Can I move my data from Kredily to ZeniaHR?
Yes. Worker master data, salary structures and attendance can be imported from spreadsheets during onboarding. Book a demo and the team will map it to your setup.
