Parmetra vs TR-sparently

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.

TR-sparently is a web-based Rewards Operating System for European companies, focused on organizational architecture, pay analysis, and compliance. Its analytics cover demographics, pay-for-performance, pay compression, and pay bands. Compliance tools provide automated gender pay gap calculations, Article 9 reports, and Joint Pay Assessment for all 27 EU member states, with audit trails and country-targeted reports. An AI-assisted leveling module helps HR and business teams establish or formalize job architecture. Recruiters can view salary ranges, receive offer guidance aligned with those ranges, and inspect internal equity subject to an anonymity threshold. The AI assistant is described as trained on the Directive, grounded in customer data, and hosted on EU infrastructure. Outputs include citations to directive articles, dataset rows, or methodology clauses. The site says analysis can examine individual pay gaps and tailor narratives to a specific level, job, and performance gap. The service is onboarding early customers through an access request form. Pricing is paid and available on request.
