Frequently asked questions.
How much does OpenAva HR cost?
HR is included in every OpenAva plan at no extra charge. The Free plan supports up to 3 users. The Plus plan is $20/mo flat with unlimited users — no per-employee fees. Enterprise is $150/mo for high-volume teams. You never pay extra for HR features.
What HR features are included?
Everything you need to manage a team: employee profiles, onboarding checklists, leave requests and policies, attendance tracking, performance review cycles with 360-degree feedback, compensation and salary history, benefit plan management, and built-in identity verification.
How does HR integrate with the CRM?
HR is a native module inside OpenAva, not a separate product. Employee data connects directly to contacts, accounts, and other CRM records. Onboarding tasks appear alongside your sales pipeline, and reporting spans both HR and CRM data in one dashboard.
What identity verification does OpenAva support?
OpenAva includes built-in I-9 employment verification for the US and INE/SAT credential checks for Mexico. Background screening is integrated directly into onboarding workflows so new hires are verified before day one.
Can OpenAva replace BambooHR or Gusto?
For most small businesses, yes. OpenAva covers employee management, onboarding, leave tracking, attendance, performance reviews, and compensation — the core features teams pay BambooHR and Gusto for. The difference is OpenAva includes all of this in your CRM plan with no per-employee pricing.
