Keep Lucca, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Lucca you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 34 of the 63 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off, time tracking, applicant tracking and expense tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Lucca’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
