Selvom vi ikke verificerer specifikke påstande, fordi anmeldernes meninger er deres egne, kan vi godt betegne anmeldelser som "Verificerede", når vi kan bekræfte, at der har fundet en forretningsinteraktion sted. Læs mere
Af hensyn til platformsintegriteten scannes alle anmeldelser på vores platform – verificerede eller ej – af vores automatiserede software døgnet rundt. Denne teknologi er designet til at identificere og fjerne indhold, der overtræder vores retningslinjer, herunder anmeldelser, som ikke er baseret på en reel oplevelse. Vi er klar over, at vi måske ikke fanger alle problemer, og du er velkommen til at gøre os opmærksom på det, hvis vi har overset noget. Læs mere

The Response to This Review Is Reason Enough to Look Elsewhere
EDIT (in response to the owner's reply):
The review was written by me, a human, with assistance from an AI tool — the same way many professionals use writing tools today. Dismissing it as "AI generated" is a deflection, not a rebuttal; and simply does not reflect the facts of this case.
On the support issue: your own email trail tells the story. Your team told me there was "suspicious activity" and that you "couldn't figure out" what went wrong — your words, not mine. I had to diagnose the problem myself (making a suggestion that, could it be my email alias on a custom domain), at which point your team congratulated me with the following sentence: "I am happy to see you realised what the issue is.". Again, this is not my words, these are the words directly from your support team. This not support; that's the customer doing your job for you. The email alias issue is a solved problem in 2026.
The translation from "manual intervention due to violation of our terms and conditions" to "couldn't figure out" is accurate — because at no point during that exchange was I told what the actual violation was. I was left to guess.
I stand by every word of this review.
---
The core payroll features are decent for a free platform — payslip generation and UIF calculations work as expected. However, my experience was overshadowed by two issues.
First, support. My account was blocked during initial signup because I used a business email alias (specifically openhr(at)mydomain.com). Rather than explaining the issue, the support team told me they "couldn't figure out" what went wrong, and that there was suspicious activity. Then went on to congratulated me when I diagnosed the problem by saying is it because I used "your-name" @ my domain? It's 2026 and we don't understand how email aliases work on domains; come on. The tone was very dismissive and passive-aggressive for what turned out to be a simple domain flagging issue.
Second, the UI. The platform appears designed for mobile, and it shows on desktop. Navigation relies on full-screen modals, so if you land on a paid feature prompt, the browser back button doesn't work — the URL changes but the page doesn't. You end up lost with no clear way to return to where you were.
For a small business owner trying to get compliant quickly, these friction points add up. The bones of the product are there, but the experience needs work.

Dear Newteq Software Representative,
Thank you for your AI generated review. We built openHR on trust and transparency so not sure how our original response of "there was a manual intervention again due to violation of our terms and conditions" translates into "couldn't figure out" but this might be because the AI didn't have all the required context.
We hear you about the paywalls and openHR was originally paywall free where premium features relied on an honour basis for payment which didn't work, so we decided that adding a paywall to 33% of the features while 67% of the features remained free was an important next step.
Can navigation be easier? Always. Again, some actions were taken because of pain points which we have noted like someone clicking a back button, getting a create new employee form again, submitting again and creating duplicates. In prior versions the back button was working just fine. Our side menu and navbar menu remain open as you navigate to make that easier.
All the best with your new software development company and we hope you find payroll software that works for you.
Growing From Strength to Strength
Regular updated features, streamlining the app, new look! Amazing!

Hi Tsholo, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad you found our response quick and engaging - it's something we take pride in.
We hear you on the product features, and we're constantly evolving. In fact, openHR already includes advanced tools like contract management, salary advances, and compliance-ready records - features that many paid providers still don’t offer. We built these to support small businesses with big responsibilities, and we’re excited to keep expanding.
Thanks again for helping us grow - your feedback helps shape the future of openHR.
