NepalHRM vs RealHRsoft
Short answer: RealHRsoft is the consultancy-backed option with the longer customer record, and NepalHRM is the one with a public rate per employee. RealHRsoft's product page lists eleven modules, from attendance on biometric or RFID card devices to 360-degree appraisal, e-recruitment, grievances and employee surveys, and its payroll page names income tax, SSF, PF and gratuity. Its FAQ prices the software by the modules you choose and the staff you manage, either as an upfront purchase with a smaller annual charge or as an annual rental, quoted through a tailored proposal. NepalHRM bundles its modules into three published plans and bills each employee from the first, with no purchase option. Every RealHRsoft cell below names the realhrsoft.com page it came from.

The home page FAQ says the subscription depends on the number of employees and the modules selected, quoted through demos and proposals, and realhrsoft.com/pricing/ returns 404 | Startup Program free up to 10 employees, without attendance or payroll. Essential NPR 60 and Business NPR 99 per employee a month, billed from the first employee; 13% VAT on top |
| How you pay | Two routes on the FAQ page: buy the software upfront and pay a lower annual component, or rent it annually with a lower initial investment, for the modules and staff you choose | Subscription only, monthly or yearly, per active employee.

RealHRsoft details were read on 4 November 2026 on realhrsoft.com (home, product, about, FAQ, contact, payroll, attendance and leave pages; /pricing/ returned 404) and on its Google Play and App Store listings. Where those pages are silent the table says so, which is not evidence that RealHRsoft lacks the feature. RealHRsoft quotes prices per customer, so none appear here. NepalHRM prices exclude 13% VAT. Confirm current details with each vendor before you decide.
Built for Nepal, End to End
Four things NepalHRM puts in writing that a buyer usually has to ask a salesperson for.
A rate card, not a proposal
Essential is NPR 60 and Business NPR 99 per employee a month, billed from the first employee with no minimum. RealHRsoft prices each proposal by module and headcount, so its figure for your team exists only once you ask.
Modules come with the plan
Business carries payroll, recruitment, onboarding and offboarding, performance, training, helpdesk, assets, documents and expense claims at one per-employee rate, so switching a module on later changes nothing on the bill.
CIT worked out per person
The Tax Planner shows annual gross, current tax and the lower tax at a raised CIT contribution under Section 63, so HR can set CIT before the run closes rather than after the year ends.
Self-serve from day one
Sign up yourself, take the 30-day trial on a paid plan, and use free onboarding support to import staff and load Nepal tax defaults. RealHRsoft's home page FAQ puts its rollout at a few weeks, including migration, setup and training.
Switching HR Software Is Where the Pain Actually Is
Feature lists are the easy part of the decision. What decides whether a switch goes well is the migration itself, and almost none of it is about which platform has more modules.
- Moving mid-year means recalculating tax that has already been deducted
- Leave and CIT opening balances get rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet
- Employee data leaves the old system in one shape and the new one expects another
- The old system stays open for months because nobody trusts the new numbers yet
Move at the Fiscal-Year Changeover
Ashad to Shrawan is the cleanest moment to switch. You start the new year with clean opening balances and skip the mid-year tax recalculation entirely.
What you get on the way in
- Free onboarding support imports employees and configures Nepal tax defaults
- One click reinstalls the Nepal tax slabs, so the first run starts from correct rates
- Most teams complete their first payroll run within their first cycle
- A 30-day free trial of every feature, so you can run a payroll before you pay
From Sign-Up to Your First Payroll Run
The same four steps whichever system you are leaving. Free onboarding support runs alongside all of them.
- Day 1
Set up the company
Sign up, add your company details, and reinstall Nepal tax defaults so the slabs, PF and SSF rates start from the current IRD figures.
- Week 1
Bring your people across
Free onboarding support helps import employees, salary structures and leave balances from whatever you are running today.
- First cycle
Run one period in parallel
Process a full payroll period alongside your current system and reconcile the two before you switch the old one off.

Close the year in one place
The eTDS file in IRD format, payslips on the mobile app, and bank transfer files for NIC Asia, Nabil, Global IME, NBL and more.

Your Team Gets It on Every Device
Employees check in, apply for leave, submit claims and download payslips from the app. Managers approve from the same place, which is usually what decides whether an HR system still gets used after month one.
NepalHRM vs RealHRsoft, Answered
The questions buyers ask before they move, answered without a sales call.
Four cases, going by what each vendor publishes. First, you want named references and a long record. RealHRsoft's home page carries testimonials from RV Group Nepal, Siddhartha Business Group of Hospitality, Bridge International and BRP Group, its Android app shows more than 10,000 downloads, and its FAQ describes the product as the result of 10 years of development. NepalHRM's own customer page is much shorter. Second, your security review asks for a certificate: Aayulogic's about page lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001, and NepalHRM holds no ISO/IEC 27001 certificate. Third, you want HR advice from the same vendor: RealHRsoft sells consulting, training and audit services, and its FAQ names an HR consultancy, Real Solutions Pvt. Ltd., as its parent. Fourth, you would rather own a licence than rent one: its FAQ offers an upfront purchase with a lower annual charge, which NepalHRM does not.
RealHRsoft does not publish prices. Its home page FAQ says pricing is a subscription that depends on the number of employees and the modules selected, and that it offers demos and detailed proposals. Its separate FAQ page adds a second route: an upfront purchase of the software with a lower annual component, or an annual rental with a lower initial investment. On 4 November 2026 realhrsoft.com/pricing/ returned a 404. Ask for both options in writing at your headcount, with the module list, implementation, support and VAT stated.
Over the same number of years, with every fee in. For 40 employees on NepalHRM Business, a yearly plan is 40 × NPR 99 × 10 months = NPR 39,600, or NPR 44,748 with 13% VAT, so three years cost NPR 118,800 before VAT or NPR 134,244 with it. Billed monthly instead, one year is 40 × NPR 99 × 12 = NPR 47,520. For RealHRsoft, add the purchase price to three annual components, or take three years of rental, then add implementation. The lower total for the modules you need wins; we cannot show RealHRsoft's side because it is quoted per customer.
Its payroll page says it handles income tax, the Social Security Fund, the Provident Fund, gratuity and other statutory deductions, and lists rebate planning and backdated calculations. Its FAQ page says it complies with all relevant Nepal labour law requirements. CIT and the eTDS file are not named on the pages we read, so ask about both in a demo. NepalHRM calculates PF, CIT, SSF and TDS on every run, produces the eTDS file in the IRD format for you to upload, and prints each employee's Tax Deduction Certificate with the deposit vouchers.
No. This page compares two separate products, and NepalHRM has no access to RealHRsoft accounts. RealHRsoft's website is realhrsoft.com and its mobile app is published by Aayulogic on Google Play and the App Store; your HR team can tell you the sign-in address your company uses. If your employer runs NepalHRM instead, sign in at app.nepalhrm.com or in the NepalHRM app.
Yes, on the evidence each publishes. BRP Group's testimonial on RealHRsoft's home page describes managing multiple companies across the group, and the FAQ there offers multi-branch support to larger organisations. NepalHRM runs several companies from one login on Enterprise, at a rate quoted for your size. Below that, each branch can have its own attendance approver, and a holiday can be set for chosen branches only.
