Keka vs Role.so

Keka describes PeopleOS as a unified system for HR, payroll, and talent. Its HR suite manages employee records, organizational structures, documents, and lifecycle workflows from onboarding to exit. Payroll uses attendance, leave, and salary inputs to calculate TDS, PF, ESI, and PT, with filing-ready returns. Attendance tracking covers offices, shifts, and field teams using biometric, GPS, and mobile check-ins. Talent tools span hiring, sourcing, screening, interviews, engagement, learning, performance reviews, goals, and recognition. Keka lists Android, iOS, web, API, and extension support, as well as mobile apps. Its marketplace offers more than 100 integrations, including Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, and accounting apps; API and webhooks are add-ons. The Foundation plan includes core HR, onboarding, leave, attendance, payroll automation, and a mobile app. Other listed plans add capabilities such as people analytics, workflow automation, performance management, project tools, or resource allocation. Keka offers a free trial, but no free plan, and pricing is available on request.

Role.so is a web platform for recruiting teams to create personalised candidate pages, collect applicant responses and track engagement. AI can draft eight structured sections from role and company details, with an optional job description as input. Drafts stay editable and require review and edits before publication. Candidate pages can use a visitor’s name, role and company to personalise the experience. Teams can track visits, clicks, conversions, traffic sources and decline reasons, and collect application and decline responses. AI-assisted resume analysis can be used alongside application details. Branding options include 12 ready-to-use colour themes, custom themes, own-domain publishing and white-label controls. Candidate-facing pages support Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. Growth and Scale support webhooks; Starter does not. Redirecting interested candidates to Calendly, Workable, Greenhouse or another ATS means their information is not saved on Role.so. Plans start at $15 a month, with a 7-day trial; there is no free plan.
