How to choose
Match the software to your HR tasks
Start with the work you need to manage. Compare employee self-service, onboarding workflows, leave management, attendance tracking, and performance reviews.
If payroll needs to connect to the system, check the payroll integration details before choosing.
Check employee limits
Compare the maximum employee limit with your current team size and expected growth. A limit that fits today may not fit later.
Compare ways to try and pay
Look at the free-plan and starting-price details, and check whether a free trial is offered. A trial and a free plan are different: confirm what access continues after the trial ends.
Confirm access and connections
Check whether the product runs on the devices your staff use. The board includes platform details for web, Android, iOS, APIs, and browser extensions.
If access to the source code matters, check the open-source mark; the board currently does not mark a product as open source.
