We track 14 HR & People tools, and every price below is verified against the vendor's public pricing page — no estimates, no affiliate ordering. Alternatives are ranked by transparent published pricing first, then by entry price.

Under 1,000 employees? Pick Rippling or BambooHR. Global EOR-heavy? Deel. SAP-loyalist enterprise? SAP SuccessFactors.

Entry price alone rarely decides a migration: check the per-seat step-ups, the employees + modules caps, and how often each vendor has raised prices before switching away from Workday.
