The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/hr-software ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Mekari Talenta 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. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.2 is higher than 72 of the 101 other HR software we grade. - You could make: Employee records, time off and applicant tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Mekari Klikpajak, Mekari Sign and Coretax DJP among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
