What AttendFirst does not do.
The price is low because the product is narrow. If you need the things below, a full HRMS like Keka, greytHR, or Zoho People is a better fit, and we'll happily tell you that.
No payroll
No salary calculation. No payslip generation. No bank file export. We give you clean attendance data; your accountant or payroll tool does the money maths.
No tax or compliance filings
No PF, ESI, TDS, PT, or LWF filing. No Form 16 or Form 24Q. Indian compliance is a full-time profession; we stay in our lane.
No performance reviews
No OKRs, no 360 feedback, no appraisal cycles, no goal-tracking. If that's what you need, look at Keka or Lattice.
No recruitment / ATS
No job postings, no candidate pipeline, no interview scheduling. Use Zoho Recruit, Keka, or Freshteam for that.
No expense claims
No reimbursement flows, no receipt upload, no travel approvals. Separate problem, separate tool.
No hardware to sell
No biometric machines, no RFID cards, no face-recognition cameras. Your employees' phones already do everything those devices promise, and more.
Not selling you twelve things means we can sell one thing well, and charge for one thing, not twelve. That's the whole trade.
If you need the other twelve things, we'll say so. No hard feelings.
Pricing questions, answered.

How much does AttendFirst cost?
Free forever for up to 5 employees with all features. Teams of 6-10 pay ₹2,500/year flat. From the 11th employee onward, ₹499 per employee per year (launch price, billed annually). A 25-person team pays ₹9,985/year.

Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 employees with every feature included: GPS check-in, selfie, QR code, leave management, reports, Excel export. No payment required, no time limit, no feature restrictions.
How does AttendFirst compare to greytHR and Keka?
AttendFirst focuses exclusively on attendance and leave management at ₹499/user/year (launch price). greytHR starts at ₹3,495/month for full HR, and Keka at ₹99/user/month. For businesses that only need attendance tracking, AttendFirst costs far less.
Can I add more employees mid-year?
