European (Munich-based) HRIS positioned as the alternative to BambooHR and Workday for European mid-market (50-2000 employees).

Owned by Bregal Milestone + Meritech. Popular with Berlin/Munich startups and European mid-market companies.
HR + IT + Finance platform, valued $13.5B private (2024). Founded by Zenefits founder Parker Conrad after his ouster. Positioned as the alternative to running Deel + Workday + Okta + Ramp separately — the "employee graph" as a single source of truth. Distinctive for its aggressive Deel litigation (September 2024 alleging trade secret theft) and rapid feature expansion. Priced $8-$14/user/mo base + per-module add-ons. Popular with fast-growing mid-market.
