Is there one system for HR and client projects?
PeopleMuster is one system for HR and client project delivery. Leave, attendance, the team directory, timesheets, capacity planning and client projects share one database. Approved leave shows in the capacity plan straight away, and logged hours feed utilisation. Every module is included at $3 per person, per month, with no tiers.
Most small teams run two stacks. An HR tool holds people, leave and attendance. A resourcing tool, a project tool or a spreadsheet holds who is working on what. Somebody copies data from one to the other, usually on a Friday afternoon.
The two halves of the market rarely meet. As of September 2026, HR systems such as BambooHR, Personio and Deel focus on the employee record and stop short of client-project delivery. Agency tools sit on the other side: Productive.io ships time off and capacity, then integrates out to BambooHR, Personio and Rippling for full employee records.
One database removes the copying. Approve a week of leave in PeopleMuster and the capacity grid marks those days with an L for that person at once. Company holidays appear as an H. You plan next month against the hours people really have, not the hours a separate sheet assumes.
Timesheets feed the same record. People log their day by project and a manager approves the week. The reports screen then shows utilisation by project and by department, with a week-over-week trend. Nobody exports hours from one tool to calculate utilisation in another.
Client projects carry their own signals. Each project has Health, Tasks and Setup scores, billable and fixed-price or hourly flags, and milestones. A warning appears when nobody has met the client for longer than your limit. With Fireflies connected, meeting transcripts file against the right project.
People changes run as one process too. When somebody leaves, an offboarding checklist runs against them with a named owner for each step. The device register shows which laptop they hold, and the directory and org chart update from the same record.
Comparing prices gets simple. PeopleMuster is $3 per person, per month, with every module included. As of September 2026, BambooHR Core lists at $10 per employee a month on the HR side. Float Starter lists at $7 per scheduled person a month on the scheduling side.

PeopleMuster does. It includes client projects with health scores, Kanban boards per project, timesheets by project and a capacity plan, alongside leave, attendance and the directory. All of it sits inside the $3 per person monthly price.
Can I turn off the modules we don't use?
Yes. Modules switch on and off for your company, so people see only what you run. The price stays $3 per person, per month, and every module stays available to switch back on.

Neither. A team of any size pays $3 per person, per month, from the first person. There is no base fee and no setup fee, and billing is monthly with no long-term contract.

Five services. Slack receives reports and reminders, and Fireflies sends meeting transcripts. ZKTeco terminals sync fingerprint punches, OpenAI powers meeting signals and policy answers, and Turnstile protects sign-in.
