India's accuracy-first HRMS & payroll
Payroll + HR
PeopleOS wins for teams that want sub-3-second payroll runs, a forever-free tier, and a per-employee model that scales linearly. greytHR wins for highly-regulated industries that value 30 years of in-market track record, deep state-government integration, and a partner network of 8,000+ accountants. The two are increasingly comparable on core compliance — the differentiator is architecture (event-sourced ledger) and pricing model (transparent vs quoted).
PeopleOS wins Tie Competitor wins
Track record is greytHR’s strongest selling point. PeopleOS bets on architecture: event-sourced ledger payroll, transparent per-employee pricing, a forever-free tier, and a modern API surface. If you’re early-stage and want to grow into a platform, PeopleOS scales with you. If you’re a regulated enterprise that needs the comfort of 30 years of vendor history, greytHR is the safer pick today.
Both cover all 36 states and UTs for Professional Tax. greytHR has been doing it longer and has deep on-ground partner networks. PeopleOS catches up architecturally — every state slab is in code, not configuration tables, so updates are deterministic and version-controlled.
Yes. PeopleOS Migration Studio imports CSV exports of employee records, salary structures, leave balances, and historical payslips. Most teams complete migration in 5–7 days including parallel-run validation.
PeopleOS supports biometric attendance via webhook ingestion — devices push punches to /api/v1/attendance/biometric-webhook. greytHR has wider native device support today; PeopleOS focuses on the wave of cloud-native biometric vendors (Spintly, Beams, mFlow).
Both are compliant. PeopleOS is architected with Aadhaar Data Vault tokenisation (Aadhaar numbers never stored in main DB) and PII redaction before any LLM call — design choices that go beyond minimum DPDP requirements. greytHR has compliance certifications and has been audited at scale.
