The same product, four headcounts
Every feature is on every plan, the free one included. What changes as you move up is how many people fit and how much help you get.

Support
Payroll records means gross, deductions, net and payslips. HR FLARE does not file payroll taxes or move money.
Stay compliant and supported
The parts that are usually an upsell, on every plan.
GDPR and DSGVO
A data processing agreement you can sign, a record of processing activities, and the Article 15 and 20 export built into Settings.
Hosted in Europe
Your workspace and its documents stay on European infrastructure, with sub-processors listed in the compliance page.
Export your data any time
Every employee can export their own record, and an admin can export the whole workspace. No ticket, no fee, no waiting.
No lock-in
Cancel and the workspace returns to Free rather than closing. Nothing is deleted and nobody loses access.
What happens when you reach 5 employees
Nothing is deleted and nobody loses access. You simply cannot add a sixth person until the limit moves, and everyone already in the workspace carries on exactly as before, clocking in, booking leave, filing expenses.
Moving up is a plan change in Settings → Plan & Limits, at the price printed above. Nobody is upgraded quietly, and moving back down later leaves your data alone.
Why the free plan is not a crippled version
Most “free tiers” are a demo with the useful parts removed, no payroll, no reporting, a watermark on anything you export. HR FLARE's free plan is the whole product for five people, because a five-person company has the same HR problems as a fifty-person one, just fewer of them.
The limit is a headcount, not a feature list. That is a deliberate choice: it means you can evaluate HR FLARE properly, on your own real data, before anyone asks you for money.
A straight answer about payroll
HR FLARE keeps payroll records, covering gross, deductions, net, payslips and the documents that go with them, and makes them searchable, exportable and visible to the right people. It does not file payroll taxes or move money, so it sits alongside your payroll provider rather than replacing it.
We say this on the pricing page rather than in a footnote, because finding it out during implementation is the kind of surprise that wastes a month.
