	Papaya Global	Wagepoint
Pros	Payment processing through Papaya Global is safe with GDPR and SOC Compliance and no third-party involvement. High level of customization within the HRIS system. Robust analytics for predictive analytics, financial forecasting and comprehensive insights.	User-friendly setup Customer service Affordability
Cons	Expensive compared to alternative PEO software solutions. Papaya Global has an EOR aggregator model, meaning that it uses a network of ICPs, and does not own EOR subsidiaries or legal entities in the countries it services. The solution lacks HR features commonly present in other PEO solutions, like performance monitoring and training management tools.	Limited accounting software integrations Poor PTO and time-tracking tools No HR tools or HCM-adjacent features No mobile payroll app
