Parmetra vs Relio

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.

Relio reviews public job postings for potential hiring compliance concerns, presents evidence behind findings, and recommends next steps. Checks can flag missing pay or benefits disclosures, location-related concerns, likely duplicates, stale postings, and conflicting public information. It reviews supported public postings across applicable U.S. jurisdictions and updates its review logic as requirements change. A free one-time review covers up to 25 supported postings without login or ATS access. Continuous Monitoring rechecks careers pages and confirmed job-board listings weekly, then sends a Weekly Compliance Summary of changes. Relio keeps finding histories that include new, changed, resolved, and reopened items. It lists support for a range of recruiting systems, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and SmartRecruiters, but reviews public careers-site data without connecting to or logging into an ATS. Relio says traffic is encrypted with HTTPS, its application database is not exposed to the internet, and it does not store candidate personal data. Free-review URL and results are deleted after 30 days; monitoring data is retained during an active subscription and for 90 days after cancellation. Continuous Monitoring costs $299 a month; Portfolio Monitoring costs $899 a month. Relio identifies potential concerns, not legal determinations or certification of compliance.
