HiBob vs Pequity (2026): which should you pick?

Pick HiBob if

• Fits if your staff are spread across several countries
• Works for US or UK employers that want HR and payroll in one system

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before a demo, as the pricing page is a demo form
• Skip it if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan and no trial
• Pricey if you need more than Core, as Talent, Payroll, Planning and Finance are each bought separately
• Not for you if you want it to run payroll outside the US and UK, where it passes data to another provider
• Watch out: there's no desktop app, only the web and phone apps

Pick Pequity if

• Fits if you run annual pay review cycles and want approvals in one place
• Works for HR teams that already have an HR records system and only need comp planning

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to see a price first, because none is published
• Skip it if you want to try before buying, as there is no free plan or trial
• Too light for HR records or payroll, since it is compensation software only
• Watch out: the homepage says Pequity has joined ADP, so plans and sales may change
• Watch out: no integrations are listed on its pages

HiBob

• No prices are published: the pricing page is a demo request form, and each company is quoted for the suites it picks.
• Core is required, and Talent, Payroll, Planning and Finance are bought as separate suites on top of it.
• Runs its own payroll only in the US and the UK; in other countries it passes data to an outside payroll provider.

Pequity

• No prices are published; Pequity asks for a custom quote, so this listing has no price.
• The homepage says Pequity has joined ADP, so packaging and sales may change.
• It is compensation software only and does not replace an HR records or payroll system.
