How we grade them
| 2.2GPAZimyoFair | 1.6GPAZingHRWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| 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. |

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.
