How we grade them

2.2GPAZimyoFair1.6GPAZingHRWeak
Value for money
C₹80 a user a month on Basic, but billed for at least 50 users, so the floor is ₹4,000 a month. No dollar price is shown, and a small team cannot buy fewer seats.
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
CA 14-day trial with limited features and no card, and no free plan.
FNo free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request.
Features
CCore HR, attendance, payroll, engagement and performance, spread across three plans. Recruit, HR Analytics and Learn are paid add-ons.
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 and attendance rules have to be set up, and the trial has limited features.
CNo store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C.

More comparisons

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.
