OP here. Humaans is a smart employee database, aka an "HR app". We're building it with the goal of making it a joy to use for both the People Ops teams and all of the employees within a company. HR tools from our experience are generally lacking the polish we expect from many modern tools we use day to day.
We're focusing on making it beautiful, as straightforward and as efficient as possible, really fast, remote and distributed team friendly and useful in all sorts of small ways. For example, you can see the local time of your remote colleagues in the directory or their profile. Hovering over your time off balance shows you the breakdown of how it's calculated - days accrued, booked upcoming days, booked past days, carry over - so you know exactly what's going on. The "filter by anything" search lets you find an individual or people from some team or city quickly, and so on.
It's built using Node.js/Postgres and React.js as the key tech. The API and UI are fully realtime since the backend is powered by Feathers.js (https://feathersjs.com/).
Feel free to try it out – it takes only 2 minutes to sign up. Feedback is welcome. Also interested in what you'd like to see in a tool like this. The HR space is quite broad with a lot of interesting tools popping up and we're still exploring the ways we could have the most impact to help businesses be more efficient.
The idea is to have a flat product approach to keep things simple. No up-sell. No hidden costs. All companies (S/M/L) get all benefits and features. So the pricing strategy is supposed to reflect that.
I assume your points around "complicated" is related to the "priced per 25" instead of a "per seat model". The reason is because this is not a product with high frequency of use (like Slack), so we believe that based on the type of capabilities that we offer, but pricing "per 25" we can keep the cost lower therefor more attractive for businesses.
Really like the look and feel of the product. Do you have any specific target audience (company size/type)?
What are the high level problems/metrics the product focuses on?

It does seem complicated, unless that's something you've researched? Have you tested with the usual "small/medium/large" company offering?

We have re-evaluate this in the future thought.
