Transparency alternatives to Folks
Other HR and payroll vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Folks. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 71 that differ from Folks on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Folks has 6 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Certifications named, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Folks” is the one that closes them.
