Where each one is stronger

Where greytHR is stronger

  • Based on what we could confirm, nothing stands out.

Where Sunday People is stronger

  • Price for small teams. ₹1,975 a month for 25 people, against from about ₹2,495 for greytHR.
  • One plan, everything in it. No tiers to compare, no features held back for a bigger plan, no setup fee and no minimum.
  • Former employees never take a seat. When someone leaves, their seat goes to your next hire, and they can still sign in for their letters and documents at no cost.
  • Probation tracking. Confirm or extend probation, with a reminder a week before it ends. greytHR: on Growth plan.
  • Former employees can still get their documents. Former employees sign in to download their letters and documents. greytHR: paid add-on.
  • Shifts. Shifts with timings and weekly offs, assigned to people or departments. greytHR: on Growth plan.
  • Performance reviews. Appraisal cycles with self reviews, peer feedback, manager reviews and calibration, potential and a 9-box, and promotions approved into dated title and level changes. Increments from ratings, by CTC, job level or salary band, become salary revisions in payroll. Also 1:1s, kudos, private feedback, development plans, performance improvement plans, a skill matrix, job levels and salary bands. greytHR: paid add-on.
  • Expenses and reimbursements. Claims with receipts and advances, approved by managers, and paid with the next payroll or by finance. Unspent advances are recovered from pay. greytHR: paid add-on.
  • Geofencing or GPS location. Draw a circle around each office. A check-in inside one counts as in office, and anywhere else as remote (work from home), never as an absence. Field tracking for the staff you choose: a live map, routes with stops and distance, between check-in and check-out only, after each person accepts a notice in the app. Field tracking needs the latest Android app for now and is coming to iPhone in a later update. Included in the plan. greytHR: on Growth plan.

Switching from greytHR

You can run both side by side while you move. Nothing about Sunday People needs a long implementation.

  1. Bring your data acrossConnect greytHR from Import with an API key and pull your people and past payroll. Leave balances, leave history and attendance come from greytHR's exports, which Import knows, and you check every row before anything changes.
  2. Set your rulesPick a leave policy, add your holiday calendars and shifts, and choose who approves what. Most teams finish in an afternoon.
  3. Invite the teamEveryone signs in with Google, Microsoft or a one-time code sent to their work email. New joiners get an onboarding link for their details and documents.
  4. Move payroll when you're readyImport past payroll from greytHR so pay and tax so far this year carry over, set up your salary structures and run your first month in Sunday. Until then, keep greytHR for salaries and hand it Sunday's attendance, leave and loss of pay exports.

Caveats

  • greytHR's site shows two price sets for Essential and Growth: ₹2,495 and ₹4,495 in its price calculator, and ₹3,495 and ₹5,495 elsewhere on the pricing page.
  • The free Starter plan's cap is 25 employees on one greytHR page and 50 on another. This page uses the lower figure.
  • Geofence and probation confirmation are placed on Growth based on greytHR's Middle East pricing page; India plans may differ.
  • Selfie attendance with face match works in the mobile app; 'Visage' face recognition is a separate premium item.
  • The alumni portal is a paid add-on. SSO, expenses, performance and timesheets are also add-ons.
  • Paid plans come with a 7-day free trial.

Competitor prices and features come from public sources, mainly vendor websites and pricing pages plus some third-party listings, as checked on 23 October 2026. They exclude GST, may differ by plan, region and billing cycle, and can change at any time, so check each vendor's site for current pricing. Where a vendor's own pages disagree, we show the price as approximate. Product names belong to their owners. Sunday prices also exclude GST.
