Landing Platform vs HiBob: people joined to time and profit
HiBob is a modern HR platform: start with Core, then add modules as you grow. Landing puts records, leave, reviews and pay on the same system as timesheets, projects, clients and invoices, so the real cost of every hour is known.
Landing suits you if
- You bill for your people's time and want HR to know it
- You want one plan, not Core plus a module for each job
- You want promotions and pay tied to real utilisation and margin
Where the people platform stops.
HiBob runs HR well. The work your people do still lives somewhere else.
A module for each job
Core covers records and time off. Performance, compensation, payroll, hiring and planning are modules you add to the proposal.
Salaries never meet the hours
An HR platform is not where client work and billing live, so pay and the hours it buys sit in different systems.
Every employee on the bill
It is priced per employee, so someone who only books leave costs the same as your HR lead.

What it costs, side by side.
HiBob builds a proposal per employee, per module. On Landing most of your people are Members who book leave, log time and approve, and the whole platform comes in one plan.
HiBob, as it lists it
How HiBob is sold, as its public pages describe it.
And still to buy separately: projects, client timesheets, a CRM and invoicing.

Work out your own priceExample company: three people who run HR, finance and operations every day, fifty-seven who book leave, log time and approve. No marketing contacts. Credits for AI, SMS and lookups come from a shared pool each Builder adds to.
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 HiBob setup
Fields, time-off policies, review cycles and the modules you pay for. We agree what "ready" means before you commit.
We move your people across
We move your data as part of the switch: records, history, balances and documents, checked against HiBob before anyone books a day off.
You sign it off
Your HR lead checks people end to end. Billing starts only when it meets the criteria you set, then we move the next tool.
But we already use HiBob.
Fair. Here are the questions people teams ask us most.
Does Landing cover reviews and compensation the way HiBob does?
Yes, on Growth: reviews, goals and pay bands on the record, with pay hidden from anyone who should not see it. Progression plans go further: when every goal is met, one click writes the new role and pay rise into their history.
HiBob feels modern. Will our team actually use Landing?
Every Member books leave, logs time and approves from the web or the iOS and Android apps, and approvers say yes from the email without logging in. Timesheets fill themselves overnight from Outlook, so there is less to do, not more.
Why join HR to projects at all?
Because salaries are your biggest cost. With both on one record, every hour is costed at what that person really costs, and margin per client, project and person is read off the page instead of rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
What do people who only book leave cost?
They are Members, from £4 a month. Contractors and guests are free.
Running review season?
