Parmetra vs Paygaps.de

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.

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. Role evaluations use competence, demands, responsibility, and working conditions; users can set work-related sub-criteria and weights. 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.
