How to choose

Can I try it free, and what does it cost?

Check whether the product offers a free plan or a trial, then compare the paid starting price and billing terms. ChiefOnboarding has a free plan and starts at €249 per month with annual billing; Clustdoc starts at $190 per month and has a 7-day trial.

Some products list pricing on request, so you may need to contact the provider to compare costs.

Does it connect to our HR systems?

Compare the HRIS integrations listed for the tools you are considering, and check whether a public API matters for your setup. An API is a way for software to exchange information with other systems.

The board also marks API availability. A web listing does not by itself establish which HR systems a product connects to.

Which onboarding steps can it handle?

Compare support for workflow automation and e-signatures, along with employee portal features. These determine whether a tool fits the steps your organization needs to coordinate or complete online.

Can employees use it on their devices and in their language?

Check mobile access, supported languages, and the platforms listed for the product. Web, iOS, Android, API, and self-hosted are platform options shown on this board.

If employees need to complete steps on a phone, confirm that the product supports the mobile access and language needs of your organization.
