Frequently asked questions about Sense HR.

Is there a free trial of Sense HR?

Yes. Sense HR offers a free 14-day trial on the Team plan, with no card required to start. The trial covers Team's features, so anyone wanting to try Elite or Enterprise-only tools, including the AI agents, can book a demo instead.

How much does Sense HR cost?

Sense HR starts from £2 per person, per month on the Team plan, based on a minimum of 10 employees — so £20 a month for a 10-person team — with no long-term contract. Elite and Enterprise are priced per employee per month too, quoted through a conversation with the team rather than self-serve, since pricing depends on company size and setup.

What's the difference between the Team, Elite and Enterprise plans?

Team covers everyday HR on fixed, ready-to-use screens and is designed to be simple and self-serve. Elite adds custom fields and screens, timesheets, deeper reporting, workflow automation and the AI agents, for businesses that want the system to fit around them. Enterprise adds custom workflows, an open API and dedicated account management for larger or more complex organisations.

Is Sense HR designed for staff who don't work at a desk?

Yes. It's built to include people without a company laptop, a fixed desk, or easy access to a mobile phone — for example through the physical Sense Clock for time tracking, rather than assuming everyone can use an app.

Is Sense HR UK-based and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sense HR is UK-hosted, ISO 27001 certified, and GDPR compliant.

Is my company's data used to train Sense HR's AI models?

No. Customer HR data is never used to train AI models.
