A clear, side-by-side look at pricing, payroll, attendance, VMS, ITAM and automation - built for Indian HR buyers evaluating both.
Keka is a popular Indian HRMS known for payroll and a longer OKR track record. Bynarize ships performance management too: goals and reviews on Starter, OKRs on Professional, and an attention view on Enterprise. The difference is bundling visitor management and IT asset management in the same tenant, plus monthly billing from ₹45 per employee.
Indian SMEs that want HRMS + native payroll runs and OKR/performance from a single vendor.
Teams that want payroll, VMS and ITAM in one tenant - with deeper background automation and flexible monthly billing.
Bynarize: ₹45–₹130/employee/month monthly billed. Keka: typically ₹6,999/month base + per-employee tiers across Foundation/Strength/Growth (verify on keka.com/pricing).
