US HR teams spend too much time wrestling tools that weren't built to work together. Keka changes that — one unified platform for payroll, time, performance, hiring, and compliance. Built to make HR feel effortless.
The average US HR professional spends 57% of their week on admin — chasing approvals, reconciling payroll, and babysitting tools that were never designed to work together. Keka gives that time back.
Keka was designed from scratch as a single system — not a collection of tools forced to shake hands with each other.
HR, Payroll, Time & Attendance, Performance, and Hiring all live in one system. No integrations to manage, no data gaps, no login fatigue. Everything talks to everything — natively.
vs. fragmented modules & add-onsKeka's AI writes job descriptions, screens resumes, flags payroll anomalies before they happen, suggests OKRs, and surfaces attrition risk. This isn't automation — it's intelligence built into every workflow.
vs. rule-based automationReal-time feedback, AI-suggested OKRs, peer recognition, and career pathing — all year round, not just at review season. Your managers go from 41% completion to 89% in one cycle.
vs. periodic cycle-only reviewsLive GPS, selfie clock-ins, biometric validation, shift rules, and overtime — built in, not sold separately. Auto-syncs to payroll so there's no manual step between worked hours and paychecks.
vs. basic or bolt-on time toolsOne unified dashboard connecting payroll, attendance, performance, and engagement. See how absenteeism affects output, flag attrition early, and build custom reports with drag-and-drop — no BI tool required.
vs. siloed per-module reportsEvery Keka customer gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager and 24/7 support via phone, chat, and email — not just enterprise accounts. Your CSM knows your business, not just your ticket number.
vs. ticket queues & long waitsUS HR compliance is complex. Keka is purpose-built for it — so you never have to chase a regulation update again.

| Pricing Model | Transparent, all-inclusive, affordable — one contract covers every feature, no add-ons |
Opaque or modular — hidden add-on costs emerge as your team grows |
| Scalability | Built to scale — SMB to enterprise, multi-location, multi-entity, deep customization |
Often SMB-focused — fast-growing companies hit a ceiling and need to re-platform |
We've migrated hundreds of teams. Your people feel nothing during the switch — except relief on the other side.
We map your current setup, identify what transfers, what improves, and what you'll finally be able to do that wasn't possible before.
Day 1Our team migrates employee records, payroll history, org structure, and time-off balances. Zero data loss, zero extra cost — it's included.
Days 2–5State payroll rules, compliance settings, leave policies, and integrations — all configured and validated before a single employee touches the new system.
Days 5–12Your team goes fully live. First payroll runs on time, error-free, fully compliant. Your dedicated CSM stays with you for 30 days post-launch.
Day 14 or sooner
