# Personio pricing

European (Munich-based) HRIS positioned as the alternative to BambooHR and Workday for European mid-market (50-2000 employees). Distinctive for GDPR-native compliance and its focus on European payroll integration (which Workday charges heavily for). Priced opaquely, typically €6-€12/employee/month. Owned by Bregal Milestone + Meritech. Popular with Berlin/Munich startups and European mid-market companies.

## Recommendation

In other words, Personio is worth it for European mid-market companies (50-2,000 employees) that need HRIS + payroll + recruiting in one German-native platform — particularly if you value GDPR-first design and EU labor-law compliance. Custom-quoted by employee count and modules enabled. Steep learning curve; dedicated implementation typical (3-6 months). Native integrations with Slack, Microsoft 365, Zapier, and 200+ EU-focused apps. Downside: opaque pricing (custom quotes only), and US customers get less feature support than EU-based ones.

## Alternative to consider

US-based team? Pick BambooHR (SMB) or Rippling (larger). Global EOR needed? Deel or Remote. Under 50 employees? Gusto (US) or Payfit (EU).

## Vendor context

VERIFIED 2026-07-28: Personio does not publish pricing publicly — all tiers custom-quoted based on employee count and modules selected. Typical range: $8-15+/employee/month for real customers per third-party sources, but exact price requires sales quote. Stored Entry Price fields cleared to null (was $5 which was suspect). Native currency EUR (German company). Transparency = Opaque, matches NetSuite/Sage Intacct handling.
