What every plan includes

Every item below is in the Startup plan. Payroll is included, not a separate module, so there is no payroll software price on top of the plan: see payroll software for Sri Lanka.

What it works out to per employee, and what a 15-, 30- and 50-person team pays

Humanised is priced per team, not per employee. Because other Sri Lankan vendors publish per-employee prices, this table shows the monthly total for three team sizes with each vendor’s published price on 3 September 2026. Where a vendor publishes no price we write “on request”.

Better HR is cheaper on licence at all three sizes if its published price is unchanged. The Humanised price includes the C-form, R4 and T10 returns, Sinhala payslips, bank files, contracts, device support and accounting posting; the Humanised vs Better HR, Gallery HR and MiHCM pages show row by row what each includes.

Is it cheaper than an accountant or Excel?

Three ways a Sri Lankan small business runs payroll, compared on what each costs in money, hours and what it covers. We do not quote accountants’ fees because they vary by firm; ask yours for a per-payslip or per-month figure and put it in the middle column.

Billing, free trial and setup

Pay monthly or yearly. The yearly plans are LKR 100,000 for Startup (against LKR 120,000 over twelve monthly payments) and LKR 270,000 for Small Business (against LKR 300,000), so yearly billing gives two months and one month free respectively. Invoices are in LKR and can be paid by bank transfer or card; Enterprise customers can pay on invoice. When your headcount crosses a plan’s limit you move to the next tier from the following billing period with your data and settings intact. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and your data can be exported. The seven-day trial runs on an account our team sets up and loads with your staff data first, because an account that is not configured properly cannot be tested properly; no card is needed, and onboarding and the Excel import are included, and there is no setup fee on any plan. Ask us whether VAT applies to your invoice; we state it on the quote rather than here.

Pricing FAQs

How much does Humanised cost per month, and what does that work out to per employee?

LKR 10,000 a month for up to 15 employees (about LKR 667 per employee at 15 staff) and LKR 25,000 a month for up to 50 (LKR 500 per employee at 50). Above 50 the Enterprise plan is quoted per team. Yearly plans are LKR 100,000 and LKR 270,000.

Is payroll included in the price or a separate module?

Included. EPF, ETF, APIT, payslips, bank files and the statutory returns are in every plan; there is no separate payroll software price.

Is there a setup fee or implementation charge?

No. Onboarding and the Excel import are included on every plan.

Can I pay monthly, or only yearly?

Either. Yearly billing is paid up front and gives two months free on Startup (LKR 100,000 against LKR 120,000) and one month free on Small Business (LKR 270,000 against LKR 300,000).

Do prices include VAT?

VAT treatment is stated on your quote and invoice; ask us when you sign up.

What happens if my headcount goes above my plan’s limit?

You move to the next tier from the following billing period; your data and settings come with you.

Is there a free trial, and do I need a card to start?

Yes: a seven-day trial, no card. Our team sets up your company and imports your staff first, so the trial runs on your own numbers on a properly configured account.

What do the add-ons cost and do I need them?

Digital Contracts LKR 36,000 a year, Biometric Device Integration LKR 12,000 a year per device, Accounting Software Integration LKR 6,000 a year. You need them only if you want e-signed contracts, fingerprint terminals feeding payroll, or journals posted to QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho Books.

Is Humanised cheaper than paying an accountant to run payroll?

Compare the accountant’s per-payslip or monthly fee against LKR 10,000 or 25,000 a month, then add what the fee does not cover: payslips in the app, leave and attendance records, and the returns generated from the run. The table on this page lays the three options side by side.

Can I cancel at any time, and do I get my data back?

Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and your employee, payroll and document data can be exported.

Do you offer discounts for NGOs, schools or accounting firms managing several clients?

Registered non-profits and educational institutions qualify for a discount, and accounting firms onboarding several client companies should ask about a practice arrangement. Contact us with your details.

How does Humanised pricing compare with Better HR, Gallery HR and MiHCM for a 30-person company?

On 3 September 2026: Humanised LKR 25,000 a month flat; Better HR LKR 11,970 at LKR 399 per user on annual billing; Gallery HR and MiHCM on request. The compare pages show what each price includes.
