Landing Platform vs Breathe HR: UK HR joined to the work
Breathe is friendly UK HR for small businesses, priced per business by headcount band, with rota, expenses and more as add-ons. Landing includes HR, leave, the rota and timesheets in every plan, and joins them to your projects, clients and invoices.
Landing suits you if
- You want the rota and timesheets in the plan, not bolted on
- You bill for time and need hours to reach client profit
- You want one login for HR and the rest of the business
Where small bills add up.
Breathe keeps HR simple. The jobs around HR are extras.
Rota as an add-on
Rota, time and attendance, expenses, learning and recruitment are each a separate monthly add-on.
Hours that go nowhere
Time is recorded for attendance, not against the clients and projects it pays for.
Another login
Projects, CRM and invoicing still live in other tools your team signs into.

Breathe HR, as it lists it

Switching is our job, not yours.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
We map your Breathe account
Records, absence policies, the rota and the add-ons you pay for. We agree what "ready" means up front.
We move Breathe across
We move your data as part of the switch: people, balances, documents and shift patterns, checked before anyone books leave.
You sign it off
Billing starts only once it meets the criteria you set. Then we move the next tool.
But Breathe is cheap for a small team.
Fair. Here are the questions small UK businesses ask us most.
Is Landing built for UK employment rules?
Yes. Bank holidays, part-time patterns and carryover per person, and a rota that checks breaks, 11 hours' rest and the 48-hour average over a rolling 17 weeks as you build it. Built in the UK by a UK company.
Breathe costs less than a hundred pounds a month. Why switch?
Because HR is rarely the only bill. Add the rota, expenses and the project, CRM and invoicing tools beside it, then compare that total with one Landing plan.
Can staff book leave and clock in on their phones?
Yes. Landing is on the App Store and Google Play, and shift workers can clock in on a shared tablet with a PIN.
Who needs a full seat?
Only the people who run Landing every day. Everyone who books leave, logs time and approves is a Member, from £4 a month.
