Common questions about moving from OrangeHRM.
Space HR is built for the AI era. While OrangeHRM provides basic modules, Space HR uses AI to automate workflows, predict turnover, and write performance coaching tips. We also offer a more modern, user-friendly interface that requires no technical maintenance.
No, it's significantly easier. OrangeHRM (especially the open-source version) often requires your own server hosting and technical configuration. Space HR is a cloud-based SaaS solution—you just log in and start working.
We offer a free trial and a very improved starter package for small businesses. Unlike 'free' open-source software, which has hidden costs in hosting and security management, our pricing is transparent and includes hosting, security, and support.
Yes. We provide CSV import tools that make it easy to migrate employee records, leave balances, and attendance history from legacy systems like OrangeHRM.
Space HR is highly configurable. While we don't allow modifying the core code (like open source), our Custom Workstreams feature allows you to build your own approval flows and forms without writing a single line of code.
