HollyHR keeps common jobs quick while preserving history, permissions and awkward edge cases.
Book leave, see a live balance, find the right document and complete assigned starter tasks without learning an HR system.

These promises can be calculated, inspected or taken away.

Fact-checked comparisons cover pricing, core HR, integrations, assurance and the exit path — including where an established product is the stronger fit.
Short answers to the questions small-team buyers ask first.
Choose HollyHR for core HR, simple pricing and self-service export, not the widest suite. People records, leave, sickness, working patterns, documents, manual onboarding and built-in reports are shipped.

A System Admin can import up to 500 people from CSV or .xlsx with mapping, validation feedback and preview. After a fresh security check, a System Admin can export 14 named CSV areas plus eligible uploads capped at 25 MB per file and 100 MB of uploaded-file content per export. Manifests record included and skipped items. It is not a database backup or guaranteed import elsewhere.
Not native payroll, rota and time tracking, expenses, recruitment, performance, learning, health and safety, engagement, a mobile app or HR/legal advice. Onboarding packs are manual, built-in reports are fixed, acknowledgements are not e-signatures, and leave does not blend mid-year FTE changes or calculate irregular-hours entitlement.
HollyHR is being built by a small UK team, led by two founder-operators who handle product decisions and early onboarding themselves.
