Choosing well

Check mobile access

Confirm that an Android app is available if staff or managers need phone access. Check the tasks covered, such as employee self-service or scheduling.

Compare web, iOS, API and extension support when your team works across devices or connects other systems.

Match the HR functions

Use the comparison fields to check employee self-service, payroll inclusion, talent management and workforce management.

Choose a tool based on the functions your organization needs rather than a broad feature list.

Review plans and trials

Look for a real free plan, a free trial and a clear paid starting point. Keka is listed with no free plan and pricing on request.

Check what is included in the plan before moving payroll or employee records.

Choose a deployment model

Deployment options include web services, APIs, browser extensions and self-hosted software. Match the model to your IT policies and integration needs.

Confirm how the selected deployment provides access for administrators, managers and employees.
