Pricing — AttendUX wins on MENA cost, GreytHR wins on India-pricing
GreytHR publishes UAE pricing in USD: Starter at ~$2.50/user/month (basic HR + attendance), Essential ~$4 (+ payroll), Pro ~$7 (+ performance, hiring). For 50 users on Essential: $2,400/year.
AttendUX is graduated: Lite $360/yr through Max $2,820/yr (international). For 50-person Egyptian business: ~18,500 EGP/year (~$400) — 6× cheaper than GreytHR Essential UAE pricing.
In India, GreytHR is significantly cheaper (INR pricing, often ₹50-80/user/month = ~$0.60-1). So if your business is India-primary with a few UAE employees, GreytHR India pricing wins. If MENA-primary, AttendUX is sharper on cost.
MENA labor-law compliance — AttendUX native, GreytHR adapting
GreytHR's payroll engine was built for Indian labor law (PF, ESI, TDS, gratuity, bonus) and is deep in that domain (20 years). For UAE, they've added WPS as a manual template (you fill SIF yourself with their data) — no auto-SIF generation. Saudi, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq: not supported.
AttendUX ships Egyptian Labor Law 14/2025, UAE MOHRE WPS auto-SIF, Saudi Mudad + GOSI + Nitaqat, Qatari compliance pre-configured. For Indian-expat businesses in UAE: GreytHR works. For businesses expanding across the Gulf or Egyptian-owned businesses: AttendUX is the better fit.
Where GreytHR actually wins — Indian payroll depth
If your workforce has Indian payroll needs (PF contributions, ESI, Professional Tax by Indian state, TDS Form 16, gratuity under Indian Payment of Gratuity Act, bonus under Indian Payment of Bonus Act), GreytHR is the strongest tool in the market. 20 years + 25,000 Indian customers has built very deep India payroll features.
AttendUX does not offer Indian payroll at all — our engine is Egyptian + Gulf-first. If your business runs any India-based payroll, GreytHR wins hands down. If your workforce is 100% in MENA (Egyptian + Gulf + Levantine nationals + expats), you don't need Indian payroll depth and AttendUX is sharper on MENA compliance.
UI + mobile experience — modern vs dated
GreytHR's UI is a known complaint point on G2, Capterra, and SoftwareSuggest — reviewers consistently describe it as "dated," "desktop-heritage," and "needs modernization." Their mobile app averages 3.8 stars (vs typical modern HR apps at 4.3+).
AttendUX was redesigned in 2024 mobile-first. Our iOS + Android apps average 4.5+ stars. The admin dashboard follows 2024 design conventions (card layouts, side-sheet editing, dark mode, responsive down to 320px). If HR UX quality matters to your team's daily happiness, this is a real gap.
