Humanyze

Humanyze maps how teams work together, so check who runs it before you sign

Security audits, data deletion, employee access and support times

Some terms work in your favour. They cover security audits, data deletion, employee access and support response times. Each one is worth checking in your own contract before you sign.

It suits organisations in a merger, an office move or a question on hours and performance

Humanyze’s examples point to organisations going through a merger or an office move. They also point to organisations that want to see how working hours relate to performance. These are three of Humanyze’s own customer stories. Ask for a reference customer like you.

A sale of its assets, mixed answers on who sees individuals and an open beta programme

Before the product, look at the company you would sign with. Humanyze was founded in 2011 at MIT’s Media Lab and is based in Boston. On 22 December 2025, Vyome Holdings announced that its subsidiary LiveChain had signed a binding letter of intent. The letter will put LiveChain in control of the Humanyze brand, intellectual property and know-how. Under that deal, LiveChain would buy a loan to Humanyze that is secured against all of its intellectual property.

On 24 February 2026, LiveChain announced it had started a default and asset transfer. Its aim was to assume all business assets of Humanyze and take direct control of its daily operations. Vyome Holdings reported on this in its filing for the quarter to 30 June 2026. A LiveChain subsidiary will acquire all of Humanyze’s assets once the transaction closes. The transaction had not closed on the filing date. Ask who will sign your contract, hold your data and run support. Get the answers in writing before you sign.

Next, check which features are finished. Humanyze announced Insights on 30 October 2024 and called it a significant revamp of its previous platform. It also runs a beta programme. The beta gives select participants early access to the people analytics platform before general availability. It is open to C-suite executives and decision-makers. Ask which features in your contract are generally available today.

A price by headcount band, large charges for extra HR links and tight contract terms

What you pay depends on your headcount and on how many systems you connect. Humanyze sells Insights on AWS Marketplace with a table of prices by headcount. The 12-month table runs $16.63 for 1 to 99 people and $8.50 for 100 to 249. It is $5.50 for 250 to 499 and $4.50 for 500 to 999. It continues at $3.00 for 1,000 to 1,999, $2.75 for 2,000 to 2,499 and $2.00 for 2,500 to 4,999. For 5,000 and above, the price is $1.50, and Humanyze asks you to email sales for a custom quote. Enter your current headcount as the quantity.

The table’s column is headed Cost/12 months. A company of 600 people sits in the 500 to 999 band. If the price is yearly per person, it would cost $2,700 a year. The base plan includes 1 HRIS link and 4 application links. Each extra application link costs $4,750 a year. Each extra HRIS link costs $20,000 a year. On the same assumption, one extra HRIS link costs more than seven times that $2,700. Ask Humanyze to confirm the unit and give one total for your tools.

A 24-month contract saves up to 55%, and a 36-month contract up to 73%. The table is public, yet Humanyze prices by organisation size and required features. It gives detailed pricing on request. So ask which price applies to you. Under the Master Services Agreement, payment terms follow the AWS Terms and Conditions. So do term and termination. Refunds on the listing follow AWS terms and conditions too. Humanyze does not typically offer a free trial.

Under the agreement, a user licence is required for each person using the customer’s master account. The same goes for each person using other data generated through the Services. In the technology example above, the CEO circulated the insights to all employees. Ask whether sharing a report that widely needs a licence for each reader.

Pulse is priced separately on AWS Marketplace. A 1-month contract costs $189 a month for its Pulse 3/10000 tier. Pulse 5/50000 costs $489 a month and Pulse 10/100000 costs $989 a month. Humanyze gives a full refund on Pulse within 14 days of purchase.

The contract terms matter as much as the price. They sit in the Master Services Agreement and in Humanyze’s terms of service. Four of them deserve a close read before you sign.

Ten questions to put to Humanyze before you sign

1. Which company owns and runs Humanyze today, and which company signs our contract? Good answer: One named company, and the status of the sale in writing before we sign.
2. What can a manager see about one named employee? Good answer: Team-level figures only, written into our order form.

Alternatives to Humanyze

If Humanyze comes off your list, look at Worklytics and Glickon. Both read work records too. Worklytics has a free plan, where Humanyze does not typically offer a trial. Glickon adds surveys beside the activity records. Our comparison of 33 people analytics products covers the rest of the market.

Worklytics combines anonymised HR data with collaboration signals. Its Free plan costs $0 for up to 100 users, with calendar data only and 30 days of history. A customer can start there with no commitment and upgrade to Business or Enterprise at any time. That lets you try it before you commit to a paid plan. Its Business plan starts at $2,500 a month for up to 200 users and 5 integrations.

Glickon merges survey data with digital footprints from email, chat, meetings and calendar. It also runs recurring surveys, so staff answer questions as well as being measured. Its Starter plan costs 3 euros per user per month, and a plan starts at 499 euros a month. Glickon usually works with companies of 50 employees and over.

Buying nothing is the last option. Your HR system may have its own analytics. Ask its vendor what they cover on engagement and attrition before you pay for a second tool. Our guide for companies whose HR system has analytics covers that case. The people analytics guide covers the whole market.
