TeamEzz vs Keka: HRMS comparison for Indian businesses
Keka and TeamEzz both run HR, attendance and payroll for Indian companies, but they are built around different ideas. Keka goes deep on HR processes in tiered plans. TeamEzz puts HR, payroll, expenses, GST invoicing and a sales CRM into one account.
This page compares them on what each vendor publishes. Where we could not confirm something, the table says so instead of guessing. TeamEzz publishes this page, so read the editorial notes with that in mind and check every price with the vendor.

The two products
TeamEzz
TeamEzz is an HRMS and business operations platform for Indian startups and SMEs. HR records, attendance, leave, PF/ESI/TDS payroll, expenses, GST invoicing and a sales CRM run in one account and one subscription.
Keka

"Not verified" means we could not confirm the item on the vendor's own page. It does not mean the product lacks it. "Reported" means it comes from a third-party listing. Reviewed 1 November 2026; vendors change plans often, so confirm before buying.
Depth of HR versus breadth of the business
Keka's plans stack HR depth: selfie clock-in and geo-fencing in Strength, then workflow automation, custom reports, OKRs and performance reviews in Growth. Hiring is a separate product. If structured performance cycles and workflow automation matter to you, Keka lists more of that than TeamEzz does on its public pages.
TeamEzz covers the core HR cycle and then goes sideways into the rest of a small business: expense claims, GST invoices, quotations, leads and client records, all under one login. If you would otherwise buy an HR tool and then a separate billing or CRM tool, that is the case TeamEzz is designed for.
Pricing you can see
Keka does not publish prices on its pricing page; you ask for a quote, and its FAQ mentions a nominal setup fee without an amount. That is normal for HR software, but it means you cannot budget before a sales call.
TeamEzz publishes its plan prices and employee limits on the pricing page, and every account starts with a 60-day trial with no credit card. Published price is not the same as lower price: get a Keka quote for your headcount and compare it with the TeamEzz plan that covers your team.
Invoicing and CRM
Keka's invoicing and lightweight CRM appear in its separate Project Services Suite, which is aimed at professional-services firms tracking projects and billing. We did not find GST invoicing stated on the page we reviewed.
TeamEzz's GST invoicing and CRM are modules of the same subscription as HR and payroll. They are general business modules, not a professional-services suite, so a firm that needs project-based billing should look at what Keka's suite offers before deciding.

TeamEzz vs Keka: frequently asked questions
Is TeamEzz a good alternative to Keka?
For a small or growing Indian business that mainly needs attendance, leave, payroll and also wants invoicing and a CRM in the same account, yes. If you need deep performance management or an applicant tracking system, check Keka's Growth plan and Hiring product first.

Does Keka include GST invoicing and a CRM?

How we compared
We read each vendor's own pricing or product page on 1 November 2026and recorded only what it states. Where a page did not mention a feature, we wrote "Not verified" rather than "No". Anything taken from a third-party listing is labelled "reported". Advantages and limitations are our own editorial view, and TeamEzz is a party to this comparison.
