Why HR & Team Management SaaS development is hard to get right
BambooHR, Personio, and Gusto charge $8–$25 per employee per month — expensive for SMBs with 50+ employees
Leave management with approval workflows, accrual calculations, and carry-over rules is always underscoped
Multi-tenant architecture (each company is an isolated workspace) must be designed from day one — retrofitting costs double the build
Employee self-service (request leave, update profile, view payslips) is a distinct UX from manager and HR admin views

How do you price per-seat SaaS?
Stripe Metered Billing or subscription with quantity. We track active employee count per workspace and bill the workspace admin monthly. Seat counts update automatically — add an employee, next invoice reflects it.
