Hajir Khata vs. RigoHR vs. HajirHR: An Honest Feature Comparison

Short answer: Hajir Khata, RigoHR, and HajirHR are three separate, unrelated companies serving the same Nepal HR/payroll market — despite the similar names, they are not the same product, and the right choice depends on your business size, existing hardware, and how much you value transparent, local pricing.

Clearing up the name confusion first

This is worth saying directly: Hajir Khata, HajirApp, and HajirHR are three different companies. All three use "Hajir" — the Nepali word for attendance — in their name, which means searches for any one of them often surface the other two. If you were looking for one specific product and landed here by mistake, it's worth double-checking the exact company name before you sign anything.

Compliance and payroll accuracy

All three position themselves around Nepali payroll compliance — SSF, TDS, and labor law leave rules. The real differentiator isn't whether SSF is supported (it should be, everywhere), it's how the vendor handles it when the SSF or tax rules change: does the update ship automatically, or does it require a support ticket and a wait.

Attendance and hardware

Biometric device support varies by vendor and by which specific hardware brands they've actually integrated with, not just claimed compatibility. Hajir Khata's own device layer, Hajir Sync, is built specifically around syncing biometric devices with the dashboard in real time, alongside GPS-based mobile check-in for field staff.

Pricing and scale

Larger, longer-established vendors in this space often publish larger client counts, which can matter if you specifically want a widely-adopted system. Smaller or newer vendors, Hajir Khata included, tend to compete instead on transparent NPR pricing and direct, responsive support rather than scale claims.

How to actually decide

Don't compare marketing pages. Ask each vendor the same three questions: show a real payslip with SSF and TDS calculated, confirm compatibility with your specific biometric hardware, and give a straight answer on pricing without requiring a sales call first. The vendor that answers cleanly and quickly is telling you more about future support experience than any feature list will.
