Zenefits vs
BambooHR
BambooHR
Zenefits owns all aspects of our HR platform. Bamboo resells other services under their brand name.
Pricing
Zenefits takes a no-surprises approach to pricing, with a simple, subscription based pricing structure that protects you from hidden charges.
Bamboo is less of an HR platform and more of a matchmaker connecting you to 3rd party partners. This structure results in a complex pricing system with multiple subscriptions from different vendors, each with their own relationship and sales contracts to manage.
Employee experience
Zenefits gives your employees control over their HR experience. Our intuitive, award-winning mobile app allows your employees to clock in, request PTO, access insurance cards, update benefits and even check the status of performance reviews. It’s all in one easy-to-use app.
Bamboo takes a patchwork approach to mobile access, requiring employees to use multiple apps for basic tasks like scheduling, time tracking, benefits and payroll.
Product
With its simple, robust mobile app, Zenefits was built for the modern working world. No work arounds, no bridges, just a comprehensive, native HR, payroll, benefits and compliance system, all with a single login that eliminates the need for cumbersome file imports and exports.
Zenefits’ award-winning onboarding syncs automatically with other essential business applications, including Gmail, Salesforce and Slack.

Bamboo’s 3rd-party partnership model pushes more work onto program administrators. Multiple disconnected apps for HR basics like payroll, benefits, scheduling, time and attendance create headaches for employees and administrators alike.
Technology
Zenefits is mobile from the ground up, with an all-in-one system that simplifies HR, payroll, benefits and compliance—including time and attendance, scheduling, performance and supplementary benefits. Zenefits gives employees maximum control over their own HR and makes it easy for administrators to do the rest.
Bamboo’s multiple 3rd party applications are a technology headache for employees and administrators alike. Their multiple logins for HR basics result in additional overhead, including payroll (Execupay), benefits (MaxwellHealth) and time and attendance.
Service
Contact our support team —by phone, email or chat—whenever you need help. We’re ready to help you solve the problem and get things moving again. Of course, the best thing is a system that just works, and our top priority is solving problems before they even get to you.
Bamboo’s core products, like payroll, are actually white-labeled solutions from other vendors. Good luck navigating tax or compliance nuances.
Mobile
With a simple, powerful mobile app, Zenefits lets your team access everything they need, everywhere they go.
Bamboo’s mobile functions are limited in key areas, and users cannot administer payroll, benefits and scheduling.
Compliance
With intelligent deadline tracking from Zenefits Compliance Assistant, tax and COBRA support, and a fully integrated platform to reduce errors, Zenefits is built for compliance.
Bamboo’s multiple apps and platforms raise the risk of data errors.

Paychex' process was weird, expensive and I couldn't run the reports we needed. By contrast, I felt so comfortable with the Zenefits process.

We switched from a big, known player to Zenefits after six months. We saved four times the cost.

Historically, we've had ADP managing our payroll and Zenefits managing our people. Now Zenefits Payroll can fulfill all our needs, we're happy to have everything all in one place.
