PeopleMuster vs HiBob
HiBob is built around culture and engagement, and its price sits behind a demo. PeopleMuster is built around the working day: attendance, leave, timesheets, capacity and client projects in one database, at a published $3 per person a month. For a service firm where HR sits beside delivery, PeopleMuster is the practical pick.

Checked on hibob.com/pricing in September 2026, which redirects into a demo-request flow. No figure is shown for HiBob and none is guessed at.
Why teams choose PeopleMuster
- HiBob does not run client projects. Here that half is built out: timesheets against projects with approvals, and project health scores you set yourself.
- A capacity grid by person and day, with leave and holidays already taken out, so next week's plan is honest before anyone edits it.
- Attendance is a craft of its own here: a fingerprint terminal or browser check-in, an on-time rate, late minutes per person and a partial-day state.
- Devices are tracked in an asset register of serials, specs, health and who holds what. A small thing until someone leaves and a laptop has to come back.
- The audit trail logs every change with the field and its value before and after, filterable by user, entity and action.
- Price is on the page. Three dollars per person per month, every live module, no tiers and no demo to sit through.
Questions people ask
Why is no HiBob price listed?
Their pricing page routes into a demo request rather than showing figures, checked September 2026. Gated pricing is the norm in HR software, which is a large part of why $3 is published here.
How does employee feedback work?
Feedback runs through a review lifecycle, with identities masked by default. Recognition sits alongside it, with award types and scheduled shoutouts.
Can staff check in without a terminal?
Yes. An admin can turn on browser check-in, which opens around each person's assigned shift. Offices with a fingerprint terminal can use both paths side by side.
