How we grade them
| 2.0GPAHROneFair | 1.6GPAZingHRWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C₹4,950 a month for up to 50 users, about $59 at today's rates, so $12 a head for a team of five. At 50 users it works out near $1.20 each, with extra users at ₹99. | CNo price is published, so there's nothing to set against the $2 to $9 a seat a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. |
| Free plan and trial | DA free trial is offered through a demo request; the pricing page gives no length. | FNo free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request. |
| Features | CCore HR, attendance and payroll on the cheaper plans. Recruitment, performance, engagement, expenses and assets need Enterprise, which has no price. | CHR, payroll and talent in one platform, but the listing shows regional editions and no list of what each includes. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Payroll, attendance rules and workforce setup come before staff can use it. | CNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C. |

| Best for | Indian firms wanting HR, attendance and payroll | enterprise HR and payroll in India, MEA and SEA |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
