HiBob pricing
HiBob sells on a custom quote with no public prices, no free plan and no free trial. The Core module is the base, and Compensation, Hiring, Payroll Hub, Time and Attendance and UK Payroll are sold separately, so the bill grows with each module you add. Per-employee estimates range from $5 to $25 per month by source, which is too wide to budget from. A third-party report puts the implementation fee at 10 to 20% of annual fees. Renewal terms, annual discounts and contract length are not published, so request them in writing.
HiBob does not publish a price list. Pricing is quoted on request.

What HiBob really costs
HiBob publishes no price list, so the real cost depends on the quote. Use the questions below to turn a sales conversation into a number you can compare.
Add-ons and extras to budget for
- Compensation, Hiring, Payroll Hub, Time and Attendance, UK Payroll modules sold separately.
- Implementation fee reported 10 to 20% (third party)
Questions to ask about price
- What is the price per user or per unit, and what is the pricing basis (seats, employees, usage)?
- Is there a minimum number of seats or a minimum annual spend?
- What is the discount for annual billing, and can we start monthly?
- How much can the price rise at renewal, and is the increase capped in the contract?
- Are there one-time costs for implementation, onboarding or data migration?
Is HiBob worth the price?
HiBob is a fit for mid-size, multi-country companies that want a modern HRIS and plan to add modules over time. It gets expensive as modules stack, and it is a poor match for small US teams that need bundled US payroll and benefits, or for buyers who need list prices without a demo. Payroll is still maturing outside the UK.
Worth it if
- Mid-size, multi-country companies that want a modern HRIS.
- Teams that want modules (compensation, hiring, payroll hub) added over time.
Look elsewhere if
- Small US teams that need bundled US payroll and benefits.
- Buyers who need list prices without a demo.
Pricing details most reviews leave out
- Hosted on AWS Ireland with Germany as backup; no US hosting option found, so US data residency needs confirming.
- Trust Center recommends Enterprise SSO plus 2FA; one third party says SCIM is included on all plans.
- Acquired Pento (UK payroll, 2024) and Mosaic (planning, 2025), so payroll is still maturing outside the UK.
- Vendr-attributed median contract about $46.5K/yr is a secondary-source figure.
- The pricing page is a demo form with module-based demo topics, which hints at modular quoting.
Our verdict on HiBob
HiBob is an HRIS built for international, distributed mid-size companies, and it has no public pricing. The pricing page is a demo request form listing Core, Compensation, Hiring, Payroll Hub, Time and Attendance and UK Payroll, which hints at modular quoting. Budgeting from a demo form is hard, so plan to collect a module-by-module written quote. Expect the final figure to depend on modules.
Outside figures vary. Buyer data attributed to Vendr puts the median contract near $46,532 per year across 94 purchases, with a range of $14,983 to $118,022, and per-employee estimates run from $5 to $25 per month depending on the source. Treat those as secondary. Reviewers say module add-ons raise the final price, and an implementation fee of 10 to 20% of annual fees has been reported by a third party.
