FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How much does OpenAva HR cost?
HR is included in every OpenAva plan at no extra charge. The Free plan supports up to 3 users. The Plus plan is $20/mo flat with unlimited users — no per-employee fees. Enterprise is $150/mo for high-volume teams. You never pay extra for HR features.
What HR features are included?
Everything you need to manage a team: employee profiles, onboarding checklists, leave requests and policies, attendance tracking, performance review cycles with 360-degree feedback, compensation and salary history, benefit plan management, and built-in identity verification.
How does HR integrate with the rest of OpenAva?
HR is a native module inside OpenAva, not a separate product. Employee data connects directly to contacts, accounts, and other business records. Onboarding tasks appear alongside your sales pipeline, and reporting spans HR and sales data in one dashboard.
What identity verification does OpenAva support?
OpenAva includes built-in I-9 employment verification for the US and INE/SAT credential checks for Mexico. Background screening is integrated directly into onboarding workflows so new hires are verified before day one.
Can OpenAva replace BambooHR or Gusto?
For most small businesses, yes. OpenAva covers employee management, onboarding, leave tracking, attendance, performance reviews, and compensation — the core features teams pay BambooHR and Gusto for. The difference is OpenAva includes all of this in one plan with no per-employee pricing.
Pay-as-you-go transparency
Published unit rates and prepaid add-ons.
Free plans can still use templates and designer tools at no cost. AI generations, premium lead generation, managed call minutes, and extra accounts use prepaid wallet funds so teams can control spend before usage grows.
AI generations $0.20-$0.75 each
Use text, social, landing page, image, and background-removal tools with published per-use rates.
Premium leads $0.03 per lead
Prepay for premium lead generation when your team needs more contacts beyond plan allowances.
Managed calls $0.05/min
Add managed call minutes for tracking numbers, lead attribution, and client communications.
