X-HR
1 month free (all modules); free forever for teams < 10
X-HR — 1 Month Free, Free Forever Under 10 Employees
AI-native Work OS for startups covering HR, payroll, projects, and finance. 1 month free with all modules, and free forever for teams under 10 employees.
X-HR is an AI-native Work Operating System built for startups and lean teams. Instead of juggling separate tools for HR, time tracking, project management, and budgeting, founders deploy only the modules they need and add more as the company grows.
The AI handles setup, answers questions about your own policies (leave entitlement, expense rules, contract terms), and performs tasks like raising requests, generating reports, updating records, and chasing approvals. Everything is connected by workflows: timesheets feed payroll, approved time-off updates the team calendar and project timeline, and expense claims flow into the payslip.
Modules include Workbench (tasks, projects, timelines), Wiki, Time-off, Attendance Tracking, Payroll, Compensation & Benefits, Expense Management, Finance Hub (runway tracking from invoices), Allocation Management, Calendar, Employee Helpdesk, Contracts & Company Decisions, and a Virtual Data Room. If you need a feature or module that doesn't exist yet, the X-HR team builds it for you.
The perk: 1 month free trial of the full platform with all modules unlocked, free forever for teams under 10 employees, and guided onboarding with the X-HR team.
Eligibility: Startups and lean teams; bootstrapped accepted. Free forever for teams under 10 employees, 1 month free trial of the full platform otherwise.
