Free
€0/ up to 5 employees
For side projects, tiny teams, and anyone evaluating Pulse honestly before committing.
A separate line for anyone paid outside your normal employee
process — freelancers, consultants, international contractors.
Anyone paid outside your normal employee process — freelancers, consultants, international contractors.
Full profile, time tracking and expenses.
Switch the same person between contractor and employee with no data loss.
Not counted toward the free-for-5 employee allowance.
What self-hosting costs you.
The software is €0. The infra under it isn't. A Pulse deployment
for a 50-person team fits comfortably on a €20–40/month Hetzner
box, or about $30–60/month on AWS us-east-1 (RDS + ECS + an S3
bucket).
Why "per active employee" and what does active mean?
An employee is active in a calendar month if they had a contract on any day of that month or were paid in that month. You don't pay for offboarded people after their exit date. Contractors don't count toward the employee tier — they have their own €4 line.
Is there any feature locked behind an enterprise tier?
No. API, webhooks, SSO/SAML, audit logs, SCIM, the full Labs suite — all included on Free and Standard. The only difference between Free and Standard is the employee cap.
Can I mix modules? E.g. only People and Work, not Money?
Yes. Money / People / Work are independently toggleable. The per-employee price stays €8 regardless of how many modules you run — we don't charge twice for the same person.
Discounts for non-profits, education, open-source maintainers?
50% off for registered non-profits, accredited education institutions, and maintainers of projects with 1k+ GitHub stars. Email sales@pulsehr.it with a one-line proof.
What happens if I outgrow 5 employees?
We notify you in-app the month before you cross the threshold. Upgrade with a click; no data migration, no billing sidebar drama. Pay only from the following month onward.
Can I get an invoice in my company's entity's country?
Yes. We bill from our Italian entity by default; on request we invoice from our Delaware entity (US) or via EU reverse-charge VAT. Payment via card, SEPA, ACH or wire.
Still have pricing questions? Ask in public on GitHub Discussions, or email sales@pulsehr.it. Nothing gets routed to a funnel — real humans, real answers.
