Our verdict
NepalHRM is built for small business that want payroll handled inside the same product, not a separate buy. Entry pricing of NPR 660 covers 10 users, and the free plan plus a 30 free trial give a clear path to paying nothing first.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Payroll is included in the product, so the payroll piece does not need a second purchase.
- The free trial runs 30, above the payroll-software lower quartile of 14.
- The entry price of NPR 660 covers 10 users, which is most small teams in a single spend.
- Support runs on phone, a direct route for payroll problems that cannot wait.
- ANNA Money and Aspire start at £0 and SGD 0, so NepalHRM is the pick when payroll in the box matters more than the lowest entry price.
Cons
- The entry price of NPR 660 sits above £0 for ANNA Money, so a budget built around a free starting point has to stretch.
- Support runs on phone only, leaving questions that arrive out of hours without a written channel to search.
- Apps are listed for ios, so a team that needs a desktop or Android build has no listed client to run.
Who it suits
- Small businesses that want payroll inside the same product rather than buying it separately.
- Teams of 10 or fewer who can cover NPR 660 at entry.
- Buyers who would rather pick up phone than wait on a written reply.
Who should look elsewhere
- ANNA Money, for anyone who puts the lowest entry price first: it starts at £0 against NPR 660 for NepalHRM.
- Aspire, whose entry price of SGD 0 leaves more room in a tight first-year budget.
- Billy, listed at DKK 160 in another currency, if a cross-market price is a better yardstick than a local payroll tool.
Intro and renewal prices
The paid plan is listed at NPR 660, and a free plan sits below it. NepalHRM does not split that figure into a discounted opening rate and a higher renewal rate, so the number met at entry is the number to budget for at renewal. Readers weighing price at both points should plan around NPR 660 rather than expect a smaller first bill and a larger second one. A free plan is available, and the paid plan can be tried for 30 before a subscription starts, so the first spend can wait until the payroll output has been checked.
What you get free
A free plan is offered, so a small business can keep payroll and people records running without opening a purchase order. A free trial of 30 days sits on top of that, and the two routes serve different habits: the plan for steady use, the trial for a bounded look. Most buyers here start on the plan and try the paid tier later, or take the trial first and settle on the plan afterwards. Neither route forces an early commitment, which matters at a company with no spare HR budget.
The company behind it
The company is headquartered in Nepal, and the product is built around that home market. Support runs on phone, which fits payroll work where a wrong figure has to be fixed the same day. No other support channel is listed, so there is no written trail to search later and no self-service library to check outside office hours. A team that logs every question finds that shape harder to work with than one that calls and moves on.

Frequently asked questions
How much does NepalHRM cost to start?+
The paid plan is listed at NPR 660, and that figure covers 10 users. Treat it as the full entry spend rather than a first instalment, because the pricing does not separate an introductory rate from a renewal rate. A free plan sits below the paid one, so a team can start at no cost.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes, a free plan is offered, so a small business can run its people and payroll records without a paid subscription. It sits alongside a 30 free trial, which is a different route: the plan suits continuous use, while the trial suits a fixed evaluation window.
How long is the free trial?+
The free trial runs 30, and a free plan is available alongside it. The trial suits a buyer who wants a bounded window to check payroll output against a real month of work, while the plan suits a team that wants to keep using the product without a purchase order.
Is payroll part of the product or an add-on?+
Payroll is included in the plan, not a separate purchase, and 80.9% of the payroll software tracked here also bundle it. So the feature itself is not the differentiator. The differentiators are the entry price of NPR 660 covering 10 users, and a free plan for teams that want to start without a subscription.
How many staff does the entry price cover?+
The entry price of NPR 660 covers 10 users. That is the figure to test a team against before buying, since a business larger than that needs to know what the next seat costs. NepalHRM lists the user count rather than a per-user price, so headcount decides the plan.
Which platforms can I use it on?+
The listed platform is ios, so a phone or tablet covers day-to-day payroll work away from a desk. A desktop or Android build is not part of the listed platforms, which matters for a team that runs the same product on a shared office machine. Check that before choosing it over a browser-based alternative.
How do I get help when payroll is wrong?+
Support runs on phone, so a payroll problem that cannot wait goes straight to a person on a call. No written channel is listed beside it, which means there is no email thread to search later and no help centre to check at a quieter hour. For a team that documents every query, that shape costs time.
Who is NepalHRM built for, and where is it based?+
It is built for small business that want an HR and payroll product in a single place, and the company is headquartered in Nepal. Both facts point the same way: the product assumes a smaller employer working in its home market. A business running payroll in another country should read the local rules before assuming they transfer.
