Logib vs Parmetra

Logib is a free web application that helps employers analyse equal pay and review pay practices. The Federal Office for Gender Equality provides it on behalf of the Confederation. Its two analysis modules suit different employer sizes: Module 1 targets larger companies and uses semi-logarithmic OLS regression to assess gender-related pay differences after accounting for personal and job-related characteristics. It is technically usable from 50 employees. Module 2 uses analytical job evaluation, suits smaller companies, and can provide information from as few as two employees; the listed plan describes it for 2–49 employees. Results include interpretation guidance, recommendations, a summary, a tender self-declaration document and a gauge-style display, with PDF and Excel downloads. A separate Logib pay system supports assessing job functions and their value, organising pay grades and bands, and planning pay development. Wage data is sent to the Confederation server encrypted for analysis and deleted afterward; results are not stored there, and data is not passed to third parties. The web app requires JavaScript and supports the latest two versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.

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.
