Creytix People
HR for businesses that run on one system — people records, compliance, and a CLI that does the busywork.
People and HR management for Creytix tenants: a core people engine, a 44-command CLI, the /app/people surface, and compliance validation — without the enterprise HRIS tax.
Your whole people operation — records, onboarding, compliance — in one place, with a command line that actually works.
What it does for you
One people record, everywhere
Employee records, onboarding, and status live in one core engine — not scattered across the payroll app, the benefits portal, and a spreadsheet.
A 44-command CLI
Bulk updates, onboarding steps, and HR workflows from the command line. The stuff that takes an afternoon in a web UI takes a command.
Compliance validation built in
The engine validates your people records against compliance rules as you go — problems surface when you enter them, not at audit time.
Brand-isolated by design
People data is tenant-scoped: your brands' teams never leak into each other's records, even on the same membership.
Capabilities
- People records core engine
- 44-command CLI for HR workflows
- /app/people surface
- Compliance validation on people records
- Brand-isolated, tenant-scoped data
- Deterministic records — no black-box scoring in the people layer
Proof, not adjectives
- Built — pilot status
- Creytix People is built: the core engine, 44-command CLI, /app/people surface, and compliance validation are in place.
- Deterministic by design
- Records are versioned and rule-checked — no black-box scoring anywhere in the people layer (fit scoring lives in Assessment, and it's advisory-only).
- Part of the membership
- $5/mo inside the Creytix membership — HR stops being a line item and becomes part of the platform.
What they offer vs everything we offer
Enterprise HRIS tools charge per employee, with minimums that punish small teams. Payroll-first tools charge a base fee plus per-employee on top. Creytix People is flat: one rent, your whole team, inside the membership you already have.
| Capability | BambooHR | Gusto | Creytix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry priceBambooHR Core from $10/employee/mo with a ~$250/mo minimum for teams of 25 or fewer; Gusto Simple $49/mo + $6/employee. Both September–October 2026 figures. | From $10/employee/mo | $49/mo + $6/employee | $49/mo rent — flat (estimated) |
| Cost at 20 employeesBambooHR's minimum floor makes small teams pay more per head; Creytix People doesn't tax headcount. | ~$250/mo (minimum) | ~$169/mo | $49/mo rent — flat (estimated) |
| Command-line HR workflows | No | No | Yes — 44-command CLI |
| Compliance validation | On higher tiers | Payroll-focused | Built into the records engine |
| Multi-brand isolationCreytix tenants run multiple brands on one membership — People keeps their records isolated. | Not built for it | Not built for it | Tenant-scoped per brand |

Competitor figures are published plan prices, last checked October 2026. Payroll lives in Creytix Payroll, a separate tool — People is the records and compliance layer.
Buy it or rent it — your call
Every Creytix tool carries both prices. Buy it outright and own it forever, or rent it month to month — renting is always cheaper than buying. No per-seat traps, no forced bundle.
Buy
Quoted at checkout
Buy pricing is finalized at checkout. Buy is competitive with the market and adjusts with it — own it outright on your own infrastructure. (Estimated — finalized at launch.)
Buy Creytix PeopleRent
$49/mo
Flat monthly rent — no per-employee tax, no minimum floor. Cancel anytime, keep your data. (Estimated — finalized at launch.)
Start rentingMembership
$5/mo
Inside the Creytix membership, Creytix People drops to $5/mo — the more tools you rent, the cheaper each one gets. (Estimated — finalized at launch.)

Is Creytix People a replacement for BambooHR?
For the people-records layer, yes: records, onboarding workflows, compliance validation, and a CLI — flat $49/mo (estimated) instead of per-employee pricing with minimums. What's different: Creytix People is built for tenants running multiple brands, with tenant-scoped isolation the enterprise tools don't offer.
What does the 44-command CLI actually do?
HR busywork from the terminal: bulk updates, onboarding checklists, record lookups, compliance checks — the operations that take an afternoon clicking through a web UI become one command. It's the same engine the /app/people surface uses, so nothing drifts between the two.
What is compliance validation?
The engine checks your people records against compliance rules when you enter them — missing required fields, inconsistent statuses, deadlines that need attention. Problems surface at data-entry time, not when an auditor asks about them.
Does Creytix People run payroll?
No. Payroll is its own tool — Creytix Payroll. People is the records and compliance layer; payroll reads from it. That separation is deliberate: your people data doesn't live inside your payroll vendor.
We run multiple brands. Are employee records shared between them?
No. People data is tenant-scoped — each brand's records are isolated, even on the same membership. A manager in one brand can't see another brand's team.
