Kredily's free tier is a real option for very small teams who only need basic HR + payroll. If that fits, the zero-cost path is unbeatable.

  • Genuinely zero rupees for the base tier.
  • No card required to start.
  • Useful for solo-founder teams.

Established Indian HR community

Kredily has a long-standing Indian SMB user base with online communities and CA familiarity for the free tier output formats.

  • Long-running product.
  • Recognised output formats.

Where WappBlaster wins

Predictable all-in pricing vs free + add-ons

Kredily's free tier covers basics; advanced attendance, deeper payroll and field features sit behind paid add-ons that accumulate. WappBlaster bundles core modules one subscription-wide โ€” size the annual total on /pricing#attendance-suite-pricing.

  • No add-on upsells.
  • All modules in one plan.
  • Predictable annual budget.

Anti-spoof depth on base plan

Anti-fake-GPS, AI liveness and offline-first signed queue are baseline in WappBlaster โ€” not free-tier teasers. Field-heavy SMBs need this depth from day one.

  • 4-layer anti-spoof detection.
  • Signed offline queue.
  • AI liveness blocks photo / mask attempts.
  • Kiosk + personal-phone hybrid.

Field workforce tools included

Beat plans, DSR forms, visit dwell tracking, auto distance reimbursement and GPS-stamped expense receipts โ€” all included, not add-on.

  • Geofenced beat plans.
  • Dynamic DSR forms.
  • Auto distance reimbursement.
  • GPS-stamped expense receipts.

UAE WPS native

Indian + UAE groups run one cycle producing ECR PF and WPS SIF together. Kredily is India-focused.

  • WPS SIF for major UAE banks.
  • End-of-service gratuity.
  • AED multi-currency.

Frequently asked questions

The base tier is genuinely free. Advanced attendance features, deeper payroll, GPS tracking depth and reporting sit behind paid add-ons. Total cost depends on which add-ons you need.
If you are a very small team (under 10) with simple attendance needs, no field workforce and no UAE operations, the free tier is a real option.
If you need anti-spoof field tracking, offline-first sync, UAE WPS, deeper payroll modules or a single published Attendance Suite quote โ€” size your scenario on /pricing#attendance-suite-pricing; beyond 10โ€“20 staff the comparison is usually clearer.
5-7 days end-to-end. Free onboarding call covers export, config, face enrolment, parallel week and cut-over.
Yes. YTD figures and UAN linkage carry across the cutover.
For office-only staff who punch from a fixed location, geofence is enough. Anti-spoof matters when you have any field, retail, construction, pharma MR or delivery roles.
Yes. Per-state PT slabs applied automatically. One payroll run handles all states.
