Equitabl vs Parity Software

Equitabl is a people analytics platform for workforce planning, pay equity, diversity, equity, inclusion and compliance. Its pay-gap analysis uses salary, demographic, job-role and employment-type data, with filters for department, role and location. Intersectional views can include gender, age, ethnicity, LGBTQ+ status, caregiver status and disability. A skills map visualizes employee capabilities and highlights training or development needs. The payroll dashboard covers payroll costs, compensation, overtime, benefits and tax-compliance measures through customizable tables, charts and heatmaps. Equitabl connects with ADP, BambooHR, SAP SuccessFactors and Workday through API updates or scheduled imports, while custom HRIS, payroll and ATS integrations are supported. It generates WGEA-compliant and EU pay-transparency reports, including gender-gap visualizations and corrective-action support. Users can export reports in Excel, CSV and PDF. The platform states that users and data points are unlimited, with role-based access controls. It runs through web and API access and is headquartered in Wellington, New Zealand.

Parity Software is a cloud-based tool for organizations assessing whether employee compensation is internally equitable. It groups comparable jobs and analyzes pay to support internal pay reviews. The job valuation module automates job banding and generates printable job descriptions; the employee valuation module provides pay equity worksheets and demographic reporting. Listed plans also include “what if” pay scenarios for evaluating compensation changes. The service runs in a web browser without a software download, and the maker describes it as designed by HR professionals for HR professionals. A free trial costs nothing and covers up to three employees, three job descriptions, pay equity analysis, demographic reporting, and scenarios. Paid monthly plans start at $150 a month; annual options include Business at $1,600 a year, Company at $6,700 a year, and Enterprise at $10,800 a year. Limits on employees, job descriptions, users, and analysis groups vary by plan. One-time expert setup is available. Customers may switch plans or cancel, though early cancellation of an annual subscription incurs the difference between monthly and annual charges.
