VS

The short answer

Choose Talstack if you…

  • You want 360° reviews, goals, feedback and 1:1s as the centre of how you develop people
  • You want a library of expert-led courses, not just a tool for building your own
  • You want engagement surveys, with heatmaps and eNPS, in the same platform
  • You prefer one published price per employee, with every module included

SeamlessHR might be enough if you…

  • Payroll is your priority
  • You do not need 360° reviews, surveys or a course library

Where Talstack goes further

Performance at the centre

Talstack runs 360° reviews with self, manager, peer and upward reviewers, anonymous peer and upward reviews, and weighted scoring. Goals work with OKRs, KPIs or Balanced Scorecards, and Feedback and 1:1s build a record that gives context when reviews come round.

Courses to learn from

Talstack includes a learning management system with nearly 400 expert-led courses, alongside the courses you build yourself. Managers can assign courses or learning paths to the people whose reviews show they need them. SeamlessHR's LMS is for creating your own courses.

Engagement surveys built in

Run engagement, pulse and lifecycle surveys that are anonymous by default, then compare departments on a heatmap and track eNPS over time.

When SeamlessHR might fit

If payroll is your priority, SeamlessHR is built around it. If you want to grow your people as well as pay them, with 360° reviews, goals, feedback, surveys and a full course library, Talstack goes much further.
