PRICING
The single biggest difference between Dapplon and Keka is how you pay.
No per-seat pricing. No surprise bills.
Per-employee pricing — grows with your headcount.
Typically ₹80–150 per employee per month. A 200-person company pays ₹16,000–₹30,000/month before add-ons.
WHY HRONE
Beyond the feature checklist, here is what makes Dapplon the better long-term choice.
Pay a fixed monthly fee regardless of how many employees you add. No surprise bills as your organisation grows.
Expand to UAE, Singapore, the UK, or the US without switching HR tools. Dapplon handles local compliance wherever you operate.
Post jobs, manage pipelines, schedule interviews, and send offer letters — all from the same platform as your HR data.
Store, organise, and get contracts signed electronically via Aadhaar eSign or DocuSign integration — no third-party tools required.
Identify flight-risk employees before they resign using machine-learning signals from attendance, performance, and engagement data.
CUSTOMER STORIES
Real feedback from organisations that moved from Keka to Dapplon.
We switched from Keka to Dapplon when we expanded to UAE and Singapore. Dapplon handled the compliance — Keka couldn't.
The flat pricing model was the clincher. As we grew from 80 to 250 people, our Dapplon cost barely changed.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is Dapplon cheaper than Keka?
For most companies, yes. Dapplon charges a flat monthly fee from ₹999 regardless of headcount. Keka charges ₹80–150 per employee per month, so a 100-person company pays ₹8,000–₹15,000/month on Keka versus ₹2,499 flat on Dapplon.
Does Dapplon have better ATS than Keka?
Dapplon includes a full Applicant Tracking System natively — job posting, pipeline management, interview scheduling, and offer letters. Keka's ATS capabilities are more limited and considered partial by most users.
Which platform is better for global teams?
Dapplon covers payroll and compliance in 45+ countries natively. Keka is primarily built for the Indian market and offers only partial global coverage.
Can Dapplon predict employee attrition?
Yes. Dapplon's AI engine analyses attendance, performance, engagement, and tenure data to surface employees at risk of leaving — a feature Keka does not offer.
