Why businesses switch from Natural HR to Leavely

Focused on what matters most

Natural HR tries to cover the entire HR lifecycle: recruitment, onboarding, performance, payroll, and leave. When a platform does everything, it rarely excels at any one thing. Leavely focuses entirely on leave and absence management, which means every feature is designed to make managing time off as smooth as possible.

No paying for modules you do not need

Natural HR uses modular pricing. If you only need leave management, you are still paying for the overhead of a full HR platform. With Leavely, £8 per user per month gets you everything related to leave, absence, rotas, and time tracking. No modules to select, no features to unlock.

Transparent, predictable pricing

Natural HR does not publish their prices. You need to request a demo and get a custom quote. Leavely is £8 per user per month. That is published on the website. No surprises, no negotiations, no sales calls required.

Up and running in 2 minutes

Natural HR requires an onboarding process to configure all their modules. Leavely is self-service. Sign up, add your employees, set your leave policies, and you are live. Most businesses are fully operational on the same day they sign up.

Frequently asked questions

How does Leavely compare to Natural HR for leave management?
Natural HR is a full-spectrum HR platform covering recruitment, onboarding, leave, performance, and payroll. If leave management is your primary concern, you are paying for modules you may never use. Leavely focuses entirely on leave and absence management, doing one thing properly rather than spreading across the full HR spectrum.
Is Leavely cheaper than Natural HR?
Natural HR does not publish transparent pricing, and costs vary depending on which modules you select. Leavely is £8 per user per month with every feature included. There are no modules to select, no tiers to choose between, and no hidden costs. You know exactly what you will pay before you sign up.
Can I migrate from Natural HR to Leavely?
Yes. You can set up Leavely in under 2 minutes and start adding employees immediately. Most businesses run both systems side by side for a week before cancelling Natural HR. Leavely calculates balances from your leave year start date, so there is no complex data migration involved.
What if I need more than just leave management?
Leavely includes more than just leave tracking. You also get shift rotas, employee clock in and out, expense management, performance reviews, and document management. These are all included at £8 per user per month. For most SMBs, this covers everything you need without paying for a full HR suite.
