    Zelt: when it makes sense.

    Zelt targets structured SMEs needing unified HR infrastructure; solopreneurs and micro-teams are better served elsewhere.

    Keep if

    You are an SME (11–1,000 employees) in France or Europe.. You need an all-in-one, unified HR platform.

    Challenge if

    You have fewer than 20 employees (seat minimum).. You need a free solution.

    Our verdict on Zelt.

    Why this verdict

    Very good

    Zelt is fairly easy to replace with an alternative, no free tier to test before paying, clearly documented use cases.
