A Case Management Platform for Employee Relations
HR Acuity is purpose-built software for employee relations and workplace investigations, from intake through resolution and aftercare. It’s organized around a proprietary three-step investigation methodology, with guided workflows, customizable interview templates, and role-based permission controls designed to keep cases consistent and defensible.
The platform includes anonymous, multi-language speak-up reporting through AI, live agents, or web forms, an AI companion called olivER that summarizes cases and surfaces risk, and analytics with exclusive industry benchmarking so ER teams can compare their case trends against similarly situated organizations.
Pricing isn’t published publicly and follows a sales-led, custom-quote model typical of enterprise HR software, and it’s marketed toward organizations with a dedicated employee relations function, not businesses looking for general HR document generation.
An AI-Powered HR Documentation & Operations Platform

HR Acuity

- Free planNot offered
- TrialBy request, via demo
- EnterpriseQuote based on org size
Why this matters: HR Acuity, like most enterprise employee relations software, doesn’t publish pricing, so evaluating it means booking a demo and going through a sales process before you know what it costs. That’s a reasonable model for the large enterprises it’s built for, but it’s a real barrier if you just want to try a tool today. HRDocket publishes every tier openly, including a genuine free plan you can sign up for right now without talking to anyone. See the full breakdown on the HRDocket pricing page. Always confirm current terms directly with HR Acuity before deciding, published third-party estimates aren’t a substitute for their own quote.
Who Should Choose Which, Realistically
A few common scenarios and the honest recommendation for each.
Where HRDocket Fits Alongside HR Acuity
HR Acuity and HRDocket aren’t really competing for the same job. If your organization already relies on HR Acuity for formal investigations and case management, that’s likely the right tool for that specific, high-stakes work, and this page isn’t suggesting you replace it.
Where HRDocket fits in is everything else. The offer letters, contracts, onboarding paperwork, salary letters, and policy acknowledgements that happen constantly across the employee lifecycle, work that isn’t a formal ER case and doesn’t need HR Acuity’s investigation-specific tooling, but still needs to be generated correctly, signed, and filed somewhere connected to the employee.
Many organizations end up running both: HR Acuity for the employee relations function specifically, and a broader documentation platform like HRDocket for HR documentation covering everything else. If you don’t currently have a dedicated ER investigation need, HRDocket alone may cover what you actually use day to day. For more on drawing that line, see our Human Resources blog.
Identify what’s actually a formal ER case
Formal investigations, anonymous complaints, and legally sensitive matters are where HR Acuity’s structure earns its keep.
Route everyday documentation elsewhere
Offer letters, contracts, onboarding, and routine employee relations documentation don’t need investigation-grade tooling.
Set up HRDocket for the broader lifecycle
Import your team, connect existing templates through HR Templates, and start generating documents.
Keep records connected on both sides
HRDocket holds the employee’s general documentation history; HR Acuity holds formal case files where they apply.
What Changed When Everyday Documentation Got Its Own Tool
Teams that separated everyday HR paperwork from formal case management.
“We were paying for enterprise ER software but only ever using it for the handful of real investigations we run each year. Everything else, offer letters, contracts, warnings, moved to HRDocket and it’s a much better fit for the volume.”
“We’re too small for a dedicated ER investigations platform and honestly didn’t need one. What we needed was every document connected to one employee record, and that’s exactly what we got.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions when weighing HRDocket against HR Acuity and Workpro.
Is HRDocket a direct competitor to HR Acuity and Workpro?
Not directly. HR Acuity and Workpro are purpose-built employee relations case management platforms. HRDocket is a broader HR documentation and employee records platform with incident tracking as one connected feature, not a dedicated investigations tool.
Can HRDocket run formal, multi-stage workplace investigations?
HRDocket’s Incident Log records incidents, evidence, and follow-up actions connected to the employee record, but it doesn’t offer the configurable, multi-stage investigation workflows that HR Acuity and Workpro specialize in.
Do HR Acuity and Workpro generate HR documents like offer letters or contracts?
Based on publicly available information, neither offers AI-assisted HR document generation as a core feature. Both focus specifically on employee relations case and investigation management.
Which of these three has published, self-serve pricing?
HRDocket publishes transparent pricing with a free plan, see the pricing page. HR Acuity and Workpro both use custom, sales-led pricing that requires contacting the vendor directly.
Is Workpro available outside the UK?
Workpro is UK-based with UK-hosted data centers and has served international organizations, but its primary market focus and hosting infrastructure are UK-centered. Confirm current regional availability directly with Workpro.
Does HR Acuity integrate with other HR systems?
HR Acuity has announced a bi-directional integration with Workday Help. Availability of other integrations should be confirmed directly with HR Acuity.
Can I use HRDocket alongside HR Acuity or Workpro instead of replacing one with the other?
Yes. Many teams use HRDocket for the broader HR documentation and employee records that neither HR Acuity nor Workpro is built for, while keeping formal investigations in whichever case management platform they already use.
Is HRDocket a good fit for a large enterprise with a dedicated employee relations team?
For dedicated, high-volume investigation workflows specifically, HR Acuity or Workpro’s specialization is likely a better fit. HRDocket is strongest for teams that need broad HR documentation and records with incident tracking included, rather than investigations as the primary function.
