How do I switch to PeopleMuster from HiBob?
Switching from HiBob to PeopleMuster means moving your people, leave balances and projects, then rebuilding your recognition and feedback routines. PeopleMuster loads the data with you during setup, or through its CSV importer. Awards, scheduled shoutouts and feedback with identities masked by default are all included at $3 per person per month.
HiBob is an HR and culture system sold to mid-sized companies. Its pricing page, checked in September 2026, sends you into a demo request rather than showing a price.
PeopleMuster shows you the whole bill up front. You pay $3 per person per month, every module is in it, and your first 14 days are free with no card.
Your people come across first, with departments, titles and managers. Leave types follow with their annual quotas, and each person's balance loads as of your start date.
Recognition carries over as two tools. Awards record who won what and when, such as Employee of the Month. Shoutouts are scheduled posts with a start date and a duration, typed as teamwork, innovation or a milestone.
Feedback keeps people safe to speak. Your staff send suggestions, concerns or praise, and HR moves each one from received to reviewed, addressed and closed. Identities are masked by default, and an admin reveals one item at a time when there's a reason to.
Announcements reach people where they already talk. The notification scheduler posts recurring or one-time messages to your Slack channels, with the next run shown for each.
One thing is new after the move: project delivery. Load your client projects, and your team logs hours against them. Approved leave drops out of the capacity plan the moment it's approved.
Give your first month two checks. Confirm every leave balance matches the old system, and send the first round of shoutouts so people see the new home.
