Parity Software vs Paygaps.de

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.

Paygaps.de is web-based software for German HR and payroll teams evaluating roles and documenting equal pay. It calculates adjusted and unadjusted pay gaps by role and comparison group, with alerts at the 5% threshold.

The software handles employee information requests with deadline monitoring and PDF replies, and produces pay reports for PDF export. Compensation tools include salary bands, job architecture, a hiring check, and a workflow for compensation adjustments. Integrations include DATEV, CSV/Excel, Personio, Sage HR, Workday, and SAP SuccessFactors; other systems can be connected on request from Business. DATEV supplies monthly values, while other HR integrations supply current-state data, and integration providers may charge fees. SaaS data is stored in Frankfurt am Main. Plans start at €249 a month for Starter, which includes up to 250 employees and 2 user accounts. A 14-day trial requires no payment details and ends without converting to a paid contract.
