HR Software (HRIS)
HiBob: features, pricing and who it fits
HiBob targets distributed companies with staff in several countries and a modern interface. Payroll, performance, compensation and time are separate modules sold by quote, so each addition raises the bill. US-only small teams wanting bundled payroll and benefits fit less well.
Who HiBob is for
Best for
- 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

Integrations, security and hosting
- Security and compliance
- SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27018:2019
- Data residency
- AWS Ireland primary, Germany backup (HiBob Trust Center)
Worth knowing before you buy
- 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
