## Recommendation

In other words, Sage HR is ideal for UK/EU small-to-mid businesses (5-200 employees) that want modular HR without US-heavy pricing tiers.

## Alternative to consider

US-first with strong payroll? Gusto or Rippling. Enterprise scale? BambooHR or HiBob. European alternative? Personio. Free tier? Zoho People.
