In brief: which one to choose
HRko choose it if…
- You plan shifts in operations (retail, production, service, hospitality) — HRko has an automatic shift planner that respects the Czech Labour Code
- You have multiple companies in a group and want to see employees across all of them (employment contract + agreements to complete a job transitions)
- You run your own branches and want separate planning rules for each one
- You need an audit log with the old and new value for every change
- You prefer a Czech product with data hosted in the EU
Pinya HR has the edge in…
- Native mobile app for both iOS and Android (HRko has an Android app and a web app usable on iOS)
- Ready-made Helios ERP integration (HRko has a REST API, but no direct connector yet)
- FaceUp whistleblowing integration (HRko has its own implementation)
- Longer market presence and a larger customer base
- Implementation included in the price — Pinya HR provides training, implementation and help with data upload

Pricing
Prices change, so we do not list them here. HRko pricing depends on the number of active employees, all features are included, and you can try it free for 14 days — see pricing. Pinya HR has a base package and paid add-ons (e.g. API, calendar sync, ERP integration or e-signature); see their website for current terms.
When each makes sense
HRko is a good fit if you have shift-based operations (retail, production, service, hospitality), multiple companies in a group and want all modules for one price. The automatic shift planner and working with multiple companies at once are its main differentiators.
Pinya HR is a good fit if you have a single company without shift-based operations, use Helios ERP, need a native app for both iOS and Android and want the vendor to carry out the implementation.
