Humi review

Humi is a Canadian HR platform covering HR management, payroll, benefits and hiring, with scheduling and employee experience also listed as platform areas. Its pitch is consolidation: manage employee records and HR processes alongside payroll and benefits, rather than buying each category separately. The available plan details also include an applicant tracking system (ATS) and AI video interviews for hiring teams.

Employment Hero acquired Humi in 2025. Humi by Employment Hero continues to serve existing clients, and it is the recommended option for businesses that need Québec compliance or French-language support. That makes the Québec and French-language fit the clearest reason to shortlist it; the published information does not spell out which specific compliance workflows or French-language features are included.

There is no published starting price for the core plans. The pricing information lists custom-priced plans, with add-ons charged per employee per month. Get a quote for your headcount and required modules before comparing Humi with a replacement.

The main advantage is having several employment functions under one provider. Humi covers HR management, payroll, benefits and hiring, with scheduling and employee experience also identified as platform areas. For Québec businesses or teams that need French-language support, Humi by Employment Hero is the recommended solution, making it a more relevant shortlist choice than a generic HR tool when those requirements are central.

The listed plans offer some flexibility in how much of the system a company buys:

• HR Standard includes paperless onboarding, time-off management and certifications.
• HR Premium adds performance reviews and expense management; HR Platinum adds goal setting, custom fields and single sign-on.
• Employment Complete adds payroll, Team Chat and a Learning Bundle to HR Platinum. Employment Unlimited adds managed payroll and HR and Employment advisory.
• Hiring can be purchased separately: Pro 50, Pro 100 and Pro 200 list 50, 100 or 200 AI video interviews, respectively, plus a full ATS pipeline and candidate scoring. These plans do not require an HR/payroll subscription.

That separate hiring option could suit a team that wants AI-assisted screening without replacing its HR or payroll setup. The interview counts are stated, but the published pricing details do not say what period they cover.

The biggest drawback is price opacity. Core plan prices are custom, and annual billing terms are not published. There is no free plan listed, while trial availability is not published. That makes it hard to compare total cost from the pricing information alone; request a quote that names each module, minimum, billing term and any implementation charges before switching.

There are concrete minimums to check. HR Standard, HR Premium, HR Platinum and Employment Unlimited require at least 10 users. Payroll is listed at $7 per employee per month with a $70 monthly minimum; Managed Payroll is $30 per employee per month with a $500 monthly minimum. Add-ons can push the total up: Learning Bundle is $7 per employee monthly, Learning Plus is $16, and HR and Employment Law Advisory is $12. Employment Complete and Employment Unlimited also list SMS at $0.18 each.

Hiring plans specify 50, 100 or 200 AI video interviews, but the pricing information does not state a reset period or price. Confirm those details—and whether the plan matches your hiring volume—before treating the separate ATS option as a straightforward saving.

Humi does not publish prices for its core plans, so there’s no verified dollar figure for the jump from HR Standard to HR Premium, HR Platinum or an employment plan. The pricing information lists HR Standard, Premium and Platinum at a minimum of 10 users; Employment Unlimited also has a 10-user minimum. Employment Complete has no minimum listed in the published pricing details. Ask for a written quote before comparing tiers.

The listed add-ons give a clearer, but incomplete, cost picture: Payroll is $7 per employee/month with a $70 monthly minimum; Managed Payroll is $30 per employee/month with a $500 minimum. Benefits+ is $10 per employee/month, Learning Bundle is $7, Learning Plus is $16, and HR and Employment Law Advisory is $12. Chat is $2 per employee/month. Annual billing terms are not published, and core plan prices are custom. Employment Complete and Employment Unlimited also list SMS at $0.18 each. Confirm which add-ons your quote includes; low per-employee rates can still come with minimum charges.

The available information does not publish a migration process, data-export options, contract terms or cancellation rules. We can’t verify how much work it takes to move employee records, payroll history or benefits data in either direction. Before signing, ask Humi what it can import, what you can export if you leave, and whether payroll and benefits records are included in a usable format.

Employment Hero acquired Humi in 2025. Humi by Employment Hero continues to serve existing clients and is recommended for businesses needing Québec compliance or French-language support. That makes those needs a reason to consider staying or switching to Humi, but it doesn’t establish that leaving is difficult. The published material contains no Reddit posts or comments we can use to identify common reasons customers leave. Treat lock-in and migration effort as open questions, not known drawbacks.
