Zenefits vs Namely

Zenefits is natively built. Namely stitched together their different external HR tools after each was built or acquired.

Pricing

Rate stars
Zenefits takes a no-surprises approach to pricing, with a simple, subscription based pricing structure that protects you from hidden charges.
Rate stars
Your HR platform pricing shouldn’t feel like your cable bill--way higher than you expected and full of surprise fees. If you’re considering Namely, look at the fine print, especially if you’re a smaller company. Their hidden fees mask high prices, with implementation costs typically in the thousands!

Employee experience

Rate stars
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.
Rate stars
Namely has multiple mobile apps, creating a challenge for employees looking to manage their own benefits and information. Surprisingly, none of the apps cover all HR data, leaving employees with limited access when they’re away from their desks. In addition, Namely’s slow implementation timelines often cause delays for new employees.

Product

Rate stars
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.
Rate stars
Namely’s separate applications for payroll, time and attendance each require their own logins. The result: manual workarounds and a lackluster employee experience.

Namely is confusing for administrators and employees alike, and its multiple apps often lead to unnecessary overhead.

Technology

Rate stars
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.
Rate stars
Namely’s patchwork approach to its product has resulted in separate applications for payroll, time and attendance and other basic features. With separate logins and manual workarounds, employees and administrators are both likely to struggle.

Service

Rate stars
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.
Rate stars
With complicated software and a 3rd party system, Namely can take months to implement, creating a service problem right out of the gate.

Mobile

Rate stars
With a simple, powerful mobile app, Zenefits lets your team access everything they need, everywhere they go.
Rate stars
Namely’s multiple mobile apps with similar names (Namely, Namely Time, and Namely Time Manage) create confusion across teams, adding to your overhead.

Compliance

Rate stars
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.
Rate stars
Namely’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.
