TriNet runs $100 to $300 per employee per month, an order of magnitude above an HRIS because it is a Professional Employer Organisation rather than software: it co-employs your staff and bundles benefits purchasing, payroll, compliance and HR support into the fee. The honest comparison is not against HiBob or Personio but against the fully-loaded cost of running payroll, sourcing benefits and employing HR staff yourself — which is why PEO economics usually favour smaller companies without an HR function.
What TriNet costs at 25, 100 and 500 seats
Annual software spend computed at $300/user/month — TriNet's published per-seat rate. That is not always the same as the headline "starting from" price, which often refers to a single-user or entry plan. Implementation, integrations and support are on top.
