Best for enterprise HR and payroll in Asia
PeopleStrong is a large HR suite with payroll, leave and attendance and an outsourcing service, sold through demos. No prices are published and the customers shown are big companies, so small teams will find it too much.
Who PeopleStrong is for
- Fits if you are a large employer with staff in several Asian countries
- Works for firms that want payroll outsourced as well as software
Who PeopleStrong is not for
- Skip it if you want a price online, as none is published
- Not for you if you are a small team, since the customer stories are large enterprises
- Watch out: payroll rules differ by country and the regional versions are India, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia
- Watch out: no app store listing is named for the mobile experience
Why PeopleStrong gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so it sits in the middle of payroll tools, which start at $19 for the cheaper quarter.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial; buyers are sent to a demo request.
- BFeaturesPayroll, leave and attendance, core HR, talent modules, an AI assistant and a payroll outsourcing service. The listing names no gap in the payroll job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. A suite sold through demos with regional versions takes setup.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only on the listing; the site mentions a mobile experience but names no app store.

Keep PeopleStrong, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace PeopleStrong 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: 36 of the 61 other payroll services grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off and applicant tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. PeopleStrong’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.
