Equitabl vs Parmetra

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.

Parmetra is a web platform for EU employers and HR and compliance teams managing pay-transparency requirements. It calculates mean and median pay gaps across an organization and within work categories, flags the 5% joint-assessment trigger, and exports snapshots for regulators. Its point-factor engine scores roles on skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions to group jobs of equal value using objective, gender-neutral criteria. Employers can publish salary ranges on vacancies and record the ban on salary-history questions. Employees can request average pay by sex for their category, with a tracked two-month response clock. Optional AI drafting proposes job-valuation criterion scores from a position title, but a person decides each score. The platform supports all 24 official EU languages. Growth includes Personio HRIS synchronization and salary-history tracking. Parmetra says workforce data is stored in the EU, with its primary application database in Frankfurt, Germany, and encrypted in transit and at rest. Workspaces are invitation-only and set up by the team; there is no self-service signup. Starter costs €179 a month; Growth costs €599 a month; Enterprise costs €1,199 a month; Scale costs €2,399 a month.
