Why teams look for a MiHCM alternative

They wanted a price they could read on a website and were offered a quotation.
They run Google Workspace, or no suite at all, and the Microsoft-centred assistant is not a benefit to them.
They have 40 staff and were offered an implementation project sized for 400.
Their accountant works in QuickBooks or Xero and wants the payroll journal posted without a spreadsheet.

MiHCM did not publish prices on mihcm.com as of 3 September 2026 (its /pricing page returns 404), so the comparison is a published flat tier against a quotation. Ask MiHCM for a written quote that separates licence, implementation and annual support, then compare the year-one total with the Humanised annual figure for your headcount.

How switching from MiHCM works

Export from MiHCM. Employee master, salary structures, year-to-date figures, leave balances and bank details as Excel or CSV. We map them to the Humanised import sheet with you.
Import and configure. Load the sheet, set pay components, EPF liability per allowance, leave types and approval routes; point your ZKTeco or HikVision devices at Humanised.
Parallel run. One pay cycle in both systems; reconcile EPF, ETF, APIT, gratuity provision and net pay line by line.
Cut over. Start of a month, or 1 April for a clean tax year; archive MiHCM payslips and returns for the statutory retention period.

What we import	From
Employee master and org structure	MiHCM export (Excel/CSV)
Salary structures and allowances	MiHCM export or your pay sheet
Year-to-date earnings, deductions and APIT	MiHCM payroll reports
Leave types and balances	MiHCM leave report
EPF/ETF member numbers, NIC, bank details	MiHCM export
Attendance device user IDs	Device or MiHCM export

Typical time is two to three weeks for up to 100 employees; larger payrolls add a second parallel cycle. Humanised onboarding is included and there is no setup fee; the free trial covers the parallel run. Check your own MiHCM agreement for notice and data-export terms before you set a date.
