Better HR
What it is
Better HR is HR, payroll, and workforce management software for organizations operating across Southeast Asia and other supported markets. Its Standard Plan brings together attendance and leave, employee records, project-based pay and overtime, learning resources, asset management, performance appraisals, KPI tracking, and expense tracking. The International plan lists payroll support in nine countries: Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia. A mobile app handles check-ins, leave and overtime requests, payslips, document sharing, KPI viewing, expenses, and announcements. The Better HR AI Agent accepts natural-language requests for tasks such as payroll, leave administration, policy enforcement, and candidate shortlisting; actions are permission-aware and logged, with manager or HR approval available before changes take effect. Pricing starts at $2.20/user/mo (annual), with a free trial and no free plan. Better HR supports Android, iOS, web, and API. It also describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit logs, migration tools, and API or file-based integrations for accounting and ERP platforms, with specific integrations discussed with the company.
