~7 years old (founded 2019), one of the most modern stacks in global HR/payroll alongside Deel and Rippling.
Rate limit is enforced at the company level (300 req/min, originally 20 req/min) - aggressive backfills, multi-tenant SaaS rollouts, and bulk-sync use cases hit throttling quickly. Sandbox environment parity with production is limited, especially for EOR onboarding and payroll calendar endpoints. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Deel, Rippling, Papaya Global, Oyster HR, Velocity Global (now Pebl), Multiplier. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
