Hey Nick.
Congratulations on the launch. I remember trying this out back when it was in Beta. It's looking super slick now. Amazed at how much you've been able to get done since then. I love the Employee onboarding and Time off features. Would have saved me a ton of time back when I was running my digital agency.
Really liking the idea with the App integrations so customers can pick and choose features. Any plans for a dev API sometime soon so we could hook into external services?
Thanks!
Ansar
@ansar Thanks Ansar! Glad you like the UX - we've tried hard to make it simple and powerful at the same time - hard at times!
We have dev APIs on our roadmap - but have quite a few integrations and features (see some of those here https://joinair.com/apps/) ahead of that currently so it will be some time. There are a few big key apps that lots of people are asking us for that we're prioritising.
@nickholzherr@ansar Looks great Nick, congratulations!! We are super interested in getting our hand on that API as well. We will be coming out with a simple search feature for all our 3rd party educational content that I think could really help give more options to your users.
Hey everyone,
Super excited to be live on ProductHunt.
Air offers various HR features like a central employee directory, time off booking, smart notifications and native iOS and Android apps.
Air is built around a “hub-and-spoke” model. We offer a simple core for free with all the basic things that small businesses need and then our App Store allows businesses to extend the platform with native Air and best-in-class third-party extensions. Essentially - Air is an HR platform that grows as your business grows.
We have a Product Hunt coupon which is active for the next 7 days - use “producthunt” for 3 months of our paid plan entirely free (you can always downgrade to a free-forever plan afterwards if you don’t need/use any of our paid features).
I hope you’ll love Air and find it useful!
Thanks!
Nick
Hey Nick,
Awesome news on the launch. Congrats on the new venture. It looks to have immense potential.
For those not already aware, Nick's a pretty big deal here in Birmingham and well known nationally from his time on the BBC Apprentice a few years back (got to the final 2!!!). I have heard him give some great inspirational talks at various startup events. Super down to earth great guy.
A quick sneak

Excellent idea and nice design. Especially smart decision to offer free plan to get companies onboard with their employees and offer the premium plans as options. Most do not like the 14 day trials. However, this old school true freemium model seems to work the best.
I did have a question though... how does Air compare to Zenefits and Gusto who seem to cross beams with you in this space? How do you compete with their deep pockets (despite all the legal issues Zenefits has endured)? Do you adhere to all existing stringent legal requirements in this arena?
@paisano Thanks Paisano, good questions on competition. We're currently focusing heavily on the UK market, where the competative landscape looks quite different. We'll still need to compete against UK versions of the same (we don't have them yet, but we will) obviously. We have a bunch of plans on how we'll compete here - but not for public discussion just yet ;).
Appreciate the thoughtful question - thanks!

Hi Air,
Looks great but it appears that you are of the UK varietal [saw the pricing was in £ for starters ;) ] and while there is nothing wrong with that [too bad to hear about Brexit :/ ], I wonder if you are adapted to US laws [and more specifically each state's set of laws]?
@exlemor Indeed, we are out of the UK market and most of our users are in the UK at the moment. We've tried to make the platform as flexible as possible (and the Hub & Spoke model lends itself well to that) - so hoping to make it useful for a US audience too!
Love the UX. For a commercial third party app integration, will you get a cut? How much ? How does the billing work? It's consolidated billing for user and app maker gets paid by you?
@sridhar_kondoji Thank you for the nice feedback :) Commercially:
- for services like HR consultancy / one-off purchases we take payment, take a cut, and pass on the remainer. If you're connecting a third-party app - the relationship is with them, they take payment, and we simply integrate. In some cases there will be a mutual discount by buying their service via Air and vice versa.
- if an app maker creates an app for Air and we take payment, yes they'd get paid by us.
- billing is monthly via stripe - mostly on a per-user basis but this can be flexible depending on apps/services. Some services we're in the progress of offering have a base-fee because of the high cost of delivering the service.
Hope that's clear! If you'd like to talk further - feel free to email me on nick@joinair.com :)
@nickholzherr looks pretty awesome! We're a company that uses Zendesk, which certainly has its pros/cons...how would you compare Air to ZD as they both seem to try to tackle a similar problem?
@hanfordscott Hey Scott, thanks for your positive feedback :). We don't see ourself as similar to Zendesk - Zendesk is customer support - we're an HR software platform :)
