Why growing teams choose Leavely over HiBob

No sales process standing between you and your HR software

HiBob requires you to book a demo, speak to sales, and negotiate pricing before you can use the product. With Leavely, you sign up on the website and start using it immediately. No calls, no demos, no waiting.

Built for teams of every size

HiBob is optimised for companies with 50 or more employees and their pricing reflects that positioning. Leavely works just as well for a team of 5 as it does for a team of 200. The price is always £8 per user per month regardless of your team size.

Features tech teams actually need

Leave management, team calendars, shift rotas, time tracking, performance reviews, goal tracking, onboarding checklists, and expense management. Leavely includes all of these without the enterprise features (compensation benchmarking, workforce planning) that inflate the price.

UK-focused and compliant

Leavely is built for the UK market with native support for bank holidays, Bradford Factor monitoring, TOIL tracking, and UK employment law compliance. HiBob serves a global audience, which means UK features are part of a broader platform rather than the core focus.
