CezanneCore HR software, costs and alternatives

When to choose Cezanne

Cezanne says its monthly fee follows selected modules and the previous month’s average headcount. It advertises setup, data upload and ongoing support within the subscription, subject to an undisclosed minimum monthly fee. We would consider it when you need a configured modular system and headcount changes regularly.

Compare the quoted minimum fee and selected modules with fixed-band products at your expected headcount. Ask which historical records, policy configurations and correction rounds the included setup covers. If you need a payroll export, test that your payroll system accepts its fields and file format.

Choose a simpler product when the minimum charge or operating work is disproportionate to a 75-person records-and-leave purchase. Conversely, do not reject Cezanne on a guessed implementation fee: compare the scope it actually offers.

What belongs in your quote

Module and average-headcount quote; minimum monthly fee must be confirmed.

Include the required modules, add-ons and any separately charged setup in the total.

Compare the full shortlist and its cost assumptions

Three things to settle before buying

1. Demonstrate a starter, a leave correction and the handoff to retained payroll in the quoted edition.
2. Price today’s workforce and the next likely headcount band, with necessary add-ons.
3. Specify the data import, policy setup, training and responsibility for corrections.

Which alternatives belong on your shortlist?

• 

  Employee records, leave, documents and routine HR reports for a fixed headcount band

  Trade-off: compare the total after required add-ons and your next headcount band

• 

  Employee records, onboarding, leave and regular performance reviews

  Trade-off: at 75 people, core costs £148 more per month than Breathe, before VAT; compare the onboarding and review features you need.

• Sense HR Elite

  Custom employee fields and screens, Report Writer, payroll connections and access roles

  Trade-off: requires someone on your team to maintain the custom fields, reports and access settings
