BrightHR is sold on 24, 36, 60-month fixed terms with a 6-month notice period and a 5-seat minimum. Leavely is £8 per user per month, monthly rolling, from one employee — leave, rotas, clock-ins, TOIL, expenses and performance in one plan.
Free 14-day trial. No credit card required.
Feature lists converge. What you sign is what separates the two — and what decides how much this costs you over the next three years.
BrightHR terms from BrightHR pricing and its published G-Cloud 14 service agreement, as of 2026-07-16. Early-exit figures are as reported by reviewers — individual contracts vary. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Figures from BrightHR’s published pricing and service agreement as of 2026-07-16. Confirm current details directly before buying.
Leave, rotas, clock-ins, TOIL, expenses, performance reviews, documents and audit history — all in the £8/user/month plan. Nothing gated behind packages or add-ons.
Monthly rolling with two-click cancellation and one-click data export means Leavely has to earn your renewal every month — not lock it in for 36.
No seat minimum and no fixed term: pay for the team you have this month. Archived leavers are not billed, and there is no renewal uplift.
If you need a 24/7 employment-law line, BrightHR's advice service is genuinely good — you're paying for it whether you call or not. Teams that lean on it heavily may be better off staying. Teams that never call it are funding it for everyone else.
