Deluxe and Premium add statistical tests for EEO-1 Component 2 tables and automatic construction of EEO-1 tables for filing. Premium also includes AI compensation optimization, task assignments, progress reporting, and a team leader approval tool. It runs on the web or can be self-hosted, including on the maker’s servers, on-premise, or with a third-party provider such as AWS. A free trial can use test data or customer data on a secure server. Plans require a one-year contract and cost $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, or $4.00 per year per employee for Overview, Standard, Deluxe, or Premium, respectively; companies over 1,000 employees are directed to request special pricing.

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.
