An ERP module. Or a focused HRMS.
Agile HRMS is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and sits inside a broader ERP. NepalHRM is a focused, cloud-native HRMS for Nepal - quicker to roll out, priced in NPR, and free to start.
Comparing Agile HRMS with NepalHRM? Agile (agile.com.np) delivers HR and payroll on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365, and publicly states Nepal statutory coverage such as Section 87 tax, SST and SSF - a capable option for organisations already standardising on the Dynamics ERP stack. NepalHRM takes a different route: a focused, cloud-native HRMS built only for people operations - IRD-compliant payroll (PF, CIT, SSF, eTDS) with a CIT Optimizer, the Bikram Sambat fiscal calendar, biometric and GPS attendance, a mobile app, transparent NPR pricing, and a genuine free tier. If you want HR software you can switch on quickly without an ERP programme, here is how the two compare.
NepalHRM vs Agile HRMS.
| Capability | Agile HRMS | NepalHRM |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | HR module on Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP | Focused, cloud-native HRMS - HR, payroll & attendance only |
| Statutory payroll compliance | States Nepal coverage (Sec 87 tax, SST, SSF) - confirm current scope | PF, CIT, SSF, eTDS native - in the IRD eTDS format |
| CIT Optimizer | Check current plan | Recommends the maximum legal CIT contribution |
| Fiscal calendar | Check current plan | Bikram Sambat + AD across payroll, leave & reports |
| Time to roll out | ERP-style implementation, typically partner-led | Self-serve setup - first payroll within your first cycle |
| Pricing & billing | Not public - depends on Dynamics licensing & scope | Transparent NPR: free up to 10, then NPR 60-99/employee |
| Free plan for small teams | Enterprise/ERP-oriented | Free forever up to 10 employees |
| Biometric attendance | Check current plan | ZKTeco, Anviz, Realand, Hikvision + GPS punch via mobile |

Built for Nepal, end to end.
Focused, not an ERP
NepalHRM does HR, payroll and attendance deeply rather than as one module of a large Dynamics deployment - less to license, less to implement.
Fast to value
Self-serve onboarding means your first Nepal-compliant payroll can run in your first cycle, without an ERP rollout project.
Transparent NPR pricing
Per-active-employee pricing in NPR with no minimum commitment - and free forever for up to 10 employees.
Nepal payroll you can name
PF, CIT, SSF and eTDS are native and generated in the IRD eTDS format, with a CIT Optimizer for the maximum legal contribution.

NepalHRM vs Agile HRMS, answered.
If you want focused HR software rather than an HR module inside a Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, NepalHRM is a strong alternative - Nepal-built payroll (PF, CIT, SSF, eTDS), the Bikram Sambat calendar, attendance, leave, a mobile app, transparent NPR pricing, and a free tier for small teams.
Agile publicly references Nepal statutory areas such as Section 87 tax, SST and SSF as part of its Dynamics 365 offering. For exact current scope and how it maps to your needs, confirm with Agile directly - this comparison focuses on what NepalHRM delivers natively.
NepalHRM publishes transparent NPR pricing - free up to 10 employees, then NPR 60 (Essential) and NPR 99 (Business) per active employee. Agile's pricing is quote-based and tied to Dynamics 365 licensing and project scope, so you would contact them for current figures.
No. NepalHRM is a standalone cloud HRMS - nothing to license from Microsoft and no ERP to deploy. You sign up, configure Nepal tax defaults, and run payroll from the browser or mobile app.
