RazorpayX Payroll Prime is ₹2,499/month but caps at 20 employees. Elite is ₹5,499/month for 50 employees, then ₹150/employee/month beyond that; the ₹8,499 shown alongside it on Razorpay's pricing page is a struck-through list price, not a rate you pay. All prices exclude 18% GST, and only annual and semi-annual billing are offered — there is no month-to-month option. Compliance calculation, payments, and filings are included at every tier, but OKRs, performance management, and project or task management are not listed on any tier, so teams still need separate tools for people ops and project work.

Common questions.
Is Clan cheaper than RazorpayX Payroll?
Yes, though not dramatically on price alone — Clan Growth is ₹4,450/month against RazorpayX Elite at ₹5,499/month for 50 employees, both before GST. The larger difference is scope: Clan also includes HR, projects, OKRs, and WhatsApp/Slack workflows that RazorpayX Payroll does not offer at any tier, so a team using RazorpayX still pays separately for those.
What are RazorpayX Payroll's pricing plans?
Prime is ₹2,499/month for up to 20 employees. Elite is ₹5,499/month for 50 employees, plus ₹150/employee/month beyond that, and tops out at 100 employees. Enterprise pricing above 100 employees is custom quote only. All plans are billed annually or semi-annually and exclude 18% GST.
Does RazorpayX Payroll include HR features beyond payroll?
It has leave management, employee onboarding, and reimbursement tracking, but no recruitment or applicant tracking, no OKRs or performance management, and no project or task management on any published plan.
Does RazorpayX Payroll support WhatsApp?
Yes, for payslip access and reimbursement filing. Leave requests are not approved through WhatsApp the way Clan's manager-approval workflow works — a manager taps Approve on WhatsApp and the employee is notified instantly.
Can I migrate from RazorpayX Payroll to Clan?
Yes. We help migrate employee records, leave balances, and payroll history from RazorpayX Payroll to Clan. Most teams go live in under a day, and migration support is included for all paying customers.
