How much does HR software cost in Romania?

Quick answer

1. The most common model is a monthly subscription per active employee, starting from a few lei/employee/month.
2. Alternatively, some vendors offer fixed packages by headcount tiers (e.g. up to 25, up to 50, etc.).
3. The price varies by the modules enabled (time tracking, payroll, recruiting, reviews) and by the number of employees.
4. The more employees you have, the lower the per-employee cost tends to be (degressive pricing).
5. Many platforms offer a free trial so you can check the fit before paying.

There is no regulated price: the rate is set commercially by each vendor, so you compare offers, not a legal scale.
For RO companies, the real cost also includes compliance: REGES/Revisal and Labour Code support avoids fines that far exceed the subscription.
Watch out for VAT and annual vs. monthly billing — an annual subscription is usually cheaper per month.
Since personnel data falls under GDPR, EU-compliant hosting can be a cost and risk criterion, not just a price one.

Example (illustrative): a 20-employee company on a per-employee plan pays a predictable monthly cost, with no large upfront investment.
Example (illustrative): an 80-employee company picks a tier package and gets a lower per-employee cost than at 20 employees.
Example: adding the recruiting or reviews module raises the subscription, but removes hours of manual work every month.

Choosing on price alone, ignoring the lack of RO legislation support (REGES/Revisal) — the initial saving is lost at the first fine or correction.
Underestimating hidden costs: implementation, data migration, training, add-on modules billed separately.
Comparing a full HR software with a simple time-tracking app — different features, so non-comparable prices.
Paying for modules the company does not use, instead of a package matched to its real size.

4softhr is affordably priced, designed for small and medium Romanian companies, with no large upfront investment.
Native support for REGES/Revisal and the Labour Code is included, so compliance is not a surprise extra cost.
Implementation is fast, and Romanian-language support reduces adoption time and cost.
Modules (time tracking, leave, AI recruiting, onboarding, reviews) are enabled as needed, so you pay only for what you use.
Integration with 4conta and 4mystaff in the 4b2b ecosystem avoids the cost of separate tools for accounting and time tracking.
