Plans are Lite at $5 per user per month, Core at $6.50 per user per month, and Pro at $9 per user per month, excluding applicable taxes. Monthly Lite, Core and Pro invoices have a $30 USD minimum spend. There is no free plan, but the advertised trial lasts up to 31 days and requires no credit card. Integrations include payroll, point-of-sale and HR categories, with ADP, BambooHR, QuickBooks, Xero and Zapier among the listed options. Deputy also provides API documentation. It states that it is ISO 27001 and UK Cyber Essentials certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Efalia HR ECM centralizes and manages employee documents from onboarding through offboarding. It supports configurable workflows, digital signatures, document classification and granular access rights. Employees can use a secure personal space to access payslips, contracts and certificates at any time. Search features include multiple criteria, favorites, saved searches and recently viewed items. The system can apply electronic archiving rules by document type and alert users before legal retention deadlines. Efalia names Sopra HR, Silae, Cegid, Sage HR and Office 365 as integrations; synchronization can run both ways through open APIs. Access can be logged and partitioned, including for medical and disciplinary data, and changes are recorded. Deployment choices include Efalia SaaS hosting and on-premise installation using a maintained Virtual Appliance; its SaaS offer relies in part on OVH infrastructure in France. Efalia says each application receives an independent penetration test at least yearly, and automated regression and security tests run with each major release. Pricing is on request and varies by company size, storage, users and selected features.
