Free Forever for Nepal's Startups
Every early-stage Nepali team of 10 or fewer runs attendance, leave and people records on NepalHRM at no cost, after a 30-day full trial. No card, no expiry, no catch. It's how we invest in the founders building Nepal's future.
No credit card · 30-day full trial · Free up to 10 employees
Our Contribution to Nepal's Startup Ecosystem
Getting HR right is hard and expensive for a young team, and that cost shouldn't decide whether a Nepali startup can run properly from day one. So early-stage teams get attendance, leave, shifts and people records on NepalHRM free and permanently, on the same platform our largest customers run, after a 30-day trial of everything. As you grow, we grow with you.
Compliance from day one
PF, CIT, SSF and eTDS are unforgiving when you get them wrong, and young Nepali teams shouldn't discover that at year-end. The 30-day trial runs real payroll, so you see compliant payslips before you pay for anything.
No cost barrier
Founders should spend on product and people, not on admin software. Attendance, leave, shifts, salary advances, biometric devices and the mobile app stay free for teams of 10 or fewer, on the same platform our paid customers run.
We grow together
When you cross 10 employees, you move to Essential in place, running the exact same modules as the Startup Program with no cap and your data untouched. Need payroll too? Business adds that. We only earn when you've grown enough that it's easy to pay.
What Stays Free, Up to 10 Employees
Every module is open for your first 30 days. These stay on at no cost afterwards; payroll and the rest of the HR suite move to Business.
Capped at 10 active employees, subject to fair-usage limits. Biometric device setup is NPR 2,500, only if a device is installed, and hardware is billed separately. See the full plan comparison.

Questions About the Startup Program? Answered
Yes. Any registered Nepali business or startup with up to 10 active employees pays nothing for as long as it stays that size, subject to fair-usage limits, and no credit card is required. Every workspace starts with a 30-day trial of every module, payroll included. After it, attendance, leave, overtime, shifts, biometric and geo-fenced clock-in, salary advances, the mobile app, roles and the audit log stay free, the same module set as our Essential plan.
Any organization operating in Nepal with 10 employees or fewer. There is no minimum headcount, so you can start with a single employee. When your team crosses 10 active employees, you move to a paid tier and your data and configuration carry over untouched. Until you do, the workspace keeps Core HR only and its other records stay viewable.
During the 30-day trial, yes: PF, CIT, SSF and eTDS payroll, IRD-aligned tax slabs, the Nepali fiscal-year (Bikram Sambat) calendar, Nepali payslips and bank-transfer files are all switched on. After the trial, payroll moves to Business, which is NPR 2,999 a month, including 20 employees; Essential shares this page's module set with a higher headcount but not payroll. Everything else on this page, including salary advances, stays free. Biometric device setup on the free plan is NPR 2,500, charged only if a device is installed, and hardware is billed separately.
Because getting HR right shouldn't decide whether a young Nepali company can afford to run properly. Backing early-stage founders with the same attendance, leave and people records our paid customers use is our contribution to Nepal's startup ecosystem, and when you grow, we grow with you.
You move to Essential or Business, and your account, employees, payroll history and settings stay exactly as they are, with nothing to re-import. Until you choose one, a workspace above 10 employees keeps Core HR only, and records in the other modules stay viewable. Companies that joined before this pricing was announced follow the transition in section 4 of our Terms of Service.
No. The Startup Program is permanent and evergreen: teams of up to 10 employees start free and stay free, with no window to catch. NepalHRM runs seasonal campaigns from time to time, but the free plan for teams under 10 has never depended on one.
Running an incubator, an accelerator or an advisory practice that puts several startups on NepalHRM at once? That side is handled by the Certified Partner Program, which carries its own margins and onboarding support.
