Where they pull apart

d.vinci

Stands out: Flat monthly pricing by company size, with no extra charge for more users, postings, or onboardings, and support included.

Watch out: Prices are in euros only, and one-off workshop fees for setup come on top of the monthly fee. Onboarding is a separate product from €1,020/mo.

Not the right fit for

US SMBs that need USD pricing
Small teams with a tight budget

Personio

Stands out: Core HR, time tracking, recruiting and payroll prep in one system, with over 200 marketplace integrations.

Watch out: Prices are published in euros only. Every active user counts as a license, and API access for custom integrations is on the Core Pro plan, not Core.

Not the right fit for

US-only employers wanting US payroll
Buyers who need a published USD price
