Keka is a well-regarded HRMS, but three things routinely come up when growing teams evaluate it. As of August 2026, per Keka's published pricing on keka.com:
Keka prices on a base-fee-plus-headcount model rather than a flat per-user rate — the figures below are Keka's cheapest published plan as of August 2026.

Keka is well suited to established, single-entity Indian businesses with 100 or more employees that need deep performance management, OKR tracking, and a large support organization behind the platform. If those are the modules you rely on most, the higher price and longer setup are a reasonable trade for that depth.
For most teams under 100 employees, yes. Keka's Foundation plan starts at ₹9,999/month for up to 100 employees, which works out to roughly ₹100/user/month at full headcount — and considerably more per user if you have fewer than 100 people, since the base fee doesn't shrink. Meagle 360 is a flat ₹149/user/month with no base fee, so at smaller headcounts it's often the cheaper option; at or near 100 employees, run the numbers for your exact headcount since it can go either way.
Meagle 360 covers attendance, leave, payroll, shift management, expense management, employee self-service, and an employee database — the core of what most growing teams need. Keka has a broader feature set overall, including deeper performance management, OKRs and a larger third-party integration marketplace built for larger, more complex organizations. If you need that depth, Keka is worth considering; if you need the core HR workflow running well without the extra complexity, that's what Meagle 360 is built for.
Most teams are fully onboarded onto Meagle 360, including migrating existing employee data, within 3 to 5 business days. That's meaningfully faster than the multi-week implementation timelines typical of larger HRMS platforms, since there's no tiered setup process or dedicated onboarding project to schedule.
