Alternatives to Oyster
Other HR and payroll vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Oyster does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 20 that differ from Oyster on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Oyster has 4 gaps in what we could measure: Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116). The column “publishes and Oyster does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
