Pricing built around your business

How Texlaculture pricing works

Texlaculture HRMS pricing is built around three variables, not a fixed per-seat tier list. The same company can land at very different price points depending on which of these matter for them.

• Employee count: the base unit of pricing is still per-employee-per-month, but the rate slides with headcount band rather than locking you into "Starter / Growth / Enterprise" tiers that force unnecessary upgrades.
• Module scope: Texlaculture ships 20+ modules across core HR, payroll, attendance, leave, recruitment, performance, and analytics. Your quote reflects what you actually plan to roll out — we don't bundle modules you do not need just to push a higher tier.
• Implementation complexity: a single-entity company operating in one state is a very different rollout from a five-entity group spanning seven states with three biometric vendors and an SSO integration. Pricing reflects that honestly.

What we deliberately avoid is per-feature gotchas. The core HRMS suite is bundled — you do not pay extra to enable, say, leave balances or payslip downloads after signing.

What's included in every plan

Regardless of the headcount band or module mix, every Texlaculture HRMS engagement includes the following at no additional cost:

• Core HR: employee master data, org structure, documents, letters, and lifecycle workflows.
• Payroll with full India statutory compliance: PF (with ECR file generation), ESI, TDS on salary, Professional Tax across applicable states, Labour Welfare Fund, and year-end Form 16 and Form 24Q outputs.
• Attendance and leave: biometric and geo-based check-ins, shifts, holiday calendars, and leave policy configuration.
• Employee self-service: payslip downloads, leave requests, investment declarations, KYC, and reimbursements via web and mobile.
• Security baseline: encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and complete audit logs.
• Mobile app: Android and iOS clients for employees and managers.
• Implementation support: guided setup, salary structure configuration, and the first parallel payroll run.
• Training: sessions for HR admins and for end users.
• Ongoing support: email and chat support through the life of the subscription, with documented response SLAs.

What scopes pricing up

Some requirements move a quote beyond the standard scope. These are legitimate cost drivers, not upsell traps:

• Multi-entity or multi-state payroll: separate legal entities, separate PF establishments, or operations across many states (each with its own PT slabs and LWF rules) take more setup and ongoing care.
• Advanced AI features: several AI capabilities are in private preview today and will be priced as add-ons when they reach general availability.
• High-volume recruitment and ATS: heavy recruitment workflows, sourcing integrations, and large candidate pipelines.
• Enterprise SSO and identity: SAML or OIDC SSO with your identity provider, SCIM provisioning, and IP allow-listing.
• Custom integrations: bespoke connectors to ERP, finance, ITSM, or in-house systems beyond our standard catalogue.
• Dedicated customer success manager: named CSM with quarterly business reviews, available for larger accounts.

Implementation fees

Texlaculture offers a fast-track implementation aimed at getting a single-entity company live within a single monthly payroll cycle. This rollout carries a one-time implementation fee that scales with employee count — it is not free, and we are explicit about that, but it is a fixed number quoted upfront.

Larger or more customised rollouts — multi-entity groups, heavy data migrations from legacy systems, complex shift structures, or integration-heavy projects — run higher and are quoted after a scoping call. In either case, you see the implementation number before signing and we do not introduce surprise fees during the contract.

How Texlaculture compares on pricing

Indian HRMS pricing splits roughly into two camps. SMB-focused suites like Keka and greytHR publish per-seat pricing in broadly similar ranges and are easy to evaluate but can become rigid as your needs grow. Enterprise HCM platforms like PeopleStrong, ZingHR, and Darwinbox are typically quote-only, with multi-quarter procurement cycles and implementation projects measured in months.

Texlaculture sits in the modern middle: published transparency on demand rather than on a marketing page, and fast-track implementation designed in weeks. The trade-off we make is that you have to talk to us once to get a number — but that number reflects your actual scope rather than a tier you were forced into.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't you publish per-seat prices?

Because they tend to mislead. A 60-person services firm in one state and a 60-person manufacturer running shift operations across three states have very different real costs. Publishing a single per-seat number would either force the smaller buyer to subsidise the larger one or push the larger buyer into an "Enterprise" tier with unrelated bundled modules. We'd rather scope honestly.

Are there hidden fees?

No. The subscription fee, the one-time implementation fee, and any chargeable add-ons (such as enterprise SSO or custom integrations) are all on the quote you sign. We do not bill for standard support, software updates, or routine compliance changes.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a guided demo and a sandbox walkthrough rather than an unattended free trial. Payroll and compliance systems are difficult to evaluate without seeing them configured against your own salary structures, which is what the demo is built around.

What's the minimum company size?

Texlaculture is typically a strong fit from around 25 employees upward. Below that headcount, the manual cost of HR and payroll is often still manageable, and several lighter India-focused tools may suit you better in the short term.

Do you discount for annual prepayment?

Yes. Annual prepayment carries a discount over monthly billing, and multi-year commitments are also available. Both are documented on the quote rather than negotiated case-by-case at renewal.
