Bayzat vs ZenHR (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Bayzat if

• Fits if you're a UAE company that wants payroll, HR and insurance in one place
• Works for firms that need WPS payroll files

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're outside the Gulf, as the payroll and compliance are local
• Not for you if you want a price up front, as quotes only
• Tight if you want only Core HR and Payroll, because other modules are extra
• Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed

Pick ZenHR if

• Fits if you run payroll in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt or Jordan
• Works for firms that need attendance clock links

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, since both bundles are quote-only
• Not for you if you run payroll outside the 11 MENA countries
• Tight if you need SSO, salary scales or open APIs, which are Advanced only
• Watch out: the Value bundle keeps only 6 months of activity logs

Bayzat

• No prices are published: the site says pricing depends on company size and modules, and points to a free consultation for a quote.
• Built for the UAE and GCC; its payroll and compliance claims are specific to local labor law.
• Modules such as benefits, talent and finance are priced separately from the Core HR and Payroll bundle, according to the vendor's FAQ.
• The mobile apps linked from the site are listed as Bayzat Benefits, so it is unclear how much of the HR suite they cover.

ZenHR

• No prices are published: both bundles are Contact Sales, with quotes based on headcount, countries and bundle.
• The Value bundle keeps 6 months of user activity logs; single sign-on, salary scales, cost centers, company expenses and open APIs are only in the Advanced bundle.
• Built for 11 MENA countries; the vendor's pages do not describe use for payroll elsewhere.
• No free plan or trial is listed on the pricing page; the call to action is a demo or price quote request.
