HiBob (Bob) targets mid-market and enterprise companies with 100 to 5,000 employees. Their pricing reflects that. If you are a UK SMB with 5 to 50 employees, you are paying for compensation planning, workforce analytics, and org chart tools you will never use. LeaveManager gives you the features you actually need at £8 per user per month.
Free 14-day trial. No credit card required. No sales call.

HiBob was built for companies with hundreds of employees. Here is what that means for a small business trying to use it.
You cannot see what HiBob costs until you book a demo and speak to their sales team. This typically means the price is higher than you expect.
You cannot sign up and start using it today. HiBob requires a demo call, a needs assessment, and a custom quote. That process can take weeks.
HiBob is optimised for companies with 50+ employees. Smaller teams may face minimum seat requirements or pricing that does not make sense at their scale.
Enterprise software typically means annual commitments. If you need flexibility to scale up or down month to month, that is a problem.
Compensation benchmarking, workforce planning, payroll hub, and complex org charts. These are valuable for a 500 person company. For a 20 person team, they just add cost.
HiBob serves companies worldwide. UK-specific features like Bradford Factor monitoring, statutory leave compliance, and bank holiday management are not their primary focus.
With LeaveManager, the price is on the website. No calls, no negotiations, no surprises.

LeaveManager covers the features UK SMBs actually use. HiBob adds enterprise modules that inflate the price.
Based on publicly available information from HiBob's website as of April 2026. Features and pricing may have changed.
LeaveManager is £8 per user per month. The price is on the website. You do not need to book a demo, speak to sales, or negotiate a custom quote. What you see is what you pay.
HiBob is designed for companies with 100 to 5,000 employees. LeaveManager is designed for UK SMBs with 5 to 200 employees. Every feature is built with smaller teams in mind, not retrofitted from an enterprise product.
LeaveManager includes native support for UK bank holidays, Bradford Factor monitoring, TOIL tracking, and Working Time Regulations. HiBob serves a global market, which means UK compliance is one part of a much larger platform rather than the core focus.
With LeaveManager, you sign up on the website, add your team, and start using it in under 2 minutes. No demo booking, no needs assessment, no weeks of waiting for a custom quote. Just sign up and go.
