SmartHR Kenya

SmartHR Kenya is a cloud-based HR and payroll system built for Kenyan businesses that centralizes Kenya-compliant payroll, GPS attendance, leave, and employee records in one platform. You set up your company and employees, then payroll, attendance, leave approvals, and self-service actions all flow through the system so data updates automatically across HR and payroll.

SmartHR Kenya is a paid subscription with tiered pricing: Starter (up to 25 employees) at KES 1,000 per month plus KES 50 per employee, Professional (up to 100 employees) at KES 3,000 per month plus KES 100 per employee, Business (up to 250 employees) at KES 6,500 per month plus KES 150 per employee, and Enterprise with custom pricing. Higher tiers include setup fees and additional features, and there is a 14-day free trial before paid use.

SmartHR Kenya is designed and optimized for businesses operating in Kenya and supports Kenyan statutory rules and local workflows. It primarily serves organizations across Kenyan cities such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Malindi, Kitale, Garissa, and Nyeri.

You can sign up for SmartHR Kenya by starting a 14-day free trial from the SmartHR Kenya website, then creating your company account and adding employees to begin using the system. No credit card is required for the trial, and you can upgrade to a paid plan afterward.

SmartHR Kenya is best suited for Kenyan SMEs with roughly 10 to 200 employees, as well as larger organizations that need Kenya-compliant HR and payroll. It is particularly tailored for sectors such as security companies, NGOs, schools, construction, cleaning services, logistics and transport, and field sales.
