People analytics software for companies of 2,000 people or more
Price the analytics in your HR system first, because several suites include it in their core packages. A separate platform makes sense when your people data sits in many systems. Tools that read email and chat need legal checks in each country. Whatever you buy, read the contract first. The fee follows a headcount that some vendors define widely, and volumes cannot fall mid-term at SAP and UKG.
If you run Workday, SAP, Oracle, UKG, Dayforce or ADP, price its own analytics first. Workday, SAP, UKG and Dayforce include reporting and analytics in their core packages.
If your people data sits in several systems, look at Visier, One Model, Crunchr or Orgvue.
Humanyze and Worklytics analyse how people use email, meetings and chat. Check the employee consultation rules in each country first.
Ask each vendor for three things in writing. They are its headcount definition, its renewal notice date and its data return terms.
What changes at 2,000 people, and what stays the same
Three things change when a company reaches 2,000 people. The fee follows headcount more closely. The contract is harder to leave. And the tool may meet data rules from several countries.
Start with the fee. Visier, Crunchr, Oracle, Dayforce, ADP and Humanyze all tie it to headcount. That makes the headcount definition worth real money. Visier counts contractors and inactive personnel who are not terminated. Crunchr counts contingent workers as well as blue and white collar staff.
Next comes the contract. Visier fees, and SAP and Workday order forms, are non-cancellable. Under SAP’s sample terms you may not reduce usage volumes during the term. Under UKG’s agreement, minimum quantities cannot be decreased during a term. So a fall in headcount may not lower your bill.
Location matters if you employ people in several countries. Data residency is the set of rules on which country your staff data may be kept in. Those rules can become a legal question. Visier has data centres in Canada, Germany, Singapore or the United States and customers can choose among them. Crunchr offers an EU or US region. One Model hosts in the US, Canada, the EU (Ireland) or Australia, set at onboarding. If One Model’s AI features are switched on, OpenAI processes that work in the United States.
Some things stay the same. A basic report on your own HR data is not a reason to buy a platform. SAP includes embedded reports in Employee Central and Story Reports in SuccessFactors at no additional cost. Workday HCM includes a reporting and analytics toolkit. The reasons to pay more are outside data and many systems. Rolls-Royce had 42 separate payrolls and chose Workday Prism Analytics to report on headcount and workforce cost. With Orgvue, Danone modelled its workforce from 30 data sources.
Three kinds of product, and the one to price first
Twelve products appear here, in three kinds. Which kind you need depends on where your people data lives.
Analytics inside your HR system
The case for starting here is simple. Your data is already in one place, and several suites include the reports in their core package. The limit is that each tool reads its own suite first. At Workday, SAP and Oracle, outside data costs extra. At Workday, People Analytics reads Workday HCM and talent data. Prism Analytics brings in outside data, and Data Cloud needs a licence and Flex Credits. At SAP, People Intelligence is an add-on licence on SAP Business Data Cloud. Oracle charges by employee count to send HCM Analytics data to an outside system. ADP sells Enhanced Insights as a paid add-on, and it is needed to save, export and share data. Dayforce and UKG are different cases. Dayforce publishes list prices, covered in the cost section. UKG said its Workforce Intelligence Hub would reach select customers in early 2026. It labels the Hub an MVP, meaning a first version, for a limited set of US customers.
Platforms that join data from many systems
A separate platform earns its place when your people data sits in several systems. Joining them is the job all four do. They differ in how much they build for you and in what else they do. Visier sells in layers. Essentials comes first, and Workforce Planning and Org Design both require it. One Model draws on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP, Oracle, Greenhouse and others, and offers predictive models only with its Enterprise edition. It builds its standard report pages with a customer success advisor and needs a data engineer to add code.
Crunchr does the connecting for you. A Crunchr data engineer builds and maintains the connections, and each new source starts another project cycle. Crunchr is for organisations with 1,000 or more employees. Its customer stories report implementation in one to ten weeks. Orgvue is the one to look at for restructuring. Its Org Design product models future structures down to position level. Its Org Insights product does not.
Tools that read how people work together
Humanyze and Worklytics analyse email, meeting and chat activity, so they raise legal questions before they raise HR ones. Humanyze’s Trust Center puts all metrics at team, function or organisation level, never individuals. Its privacy policy refers to individual-level and management-level feedback. Worklytics’s Teams connector page puts its permission at reading all chat messages. The same page also puts it at reading chat message metadata. Ask which applies.
Humanyze’s ownership is also changing. Livechain is a subsidiary of Vyome Holdings. It bought Humanyze’s senior secured debt. On 24 February 2026 it announced a move to take over Humanyze’s business assets and daily running. Vyome’s report for the quarter to 30 June 2026 records that the deal had not closed when filed. Ask who your contract would be with.

| Visier | Experian, with more than 21,000 employees. | Essentials comes first. Workforce Planning and Org Design both require it. | Pre-built connectors set up by an administrator. Several are in Beta, including BambooHR, Dayforce and iCIMS. | Writing an approved org design back to the HR system initially needs a data transformation team. |
| One Model | JLL, with more than 130,000 employees. | Three parts. Data Mesh joins data, Data Stories builds reports and One AI forecasts. Predictive models come only with Enterprise. | Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP, Oracle, Greenhouse and others. A payroll services company joined more than 200 sources. | Standard report pages need a data engineer to add code. |
| Crunchr | Randstad, with 40,000 or more people. | Ask Crunchr builds the view, explains it and suggests next steps. Ready-to-use CSRD dashboards are included. | A Crunchr data engineer builds and maintains the connections. Each new source starts another project cycle. | Crunchr does not produce statutory reports. |
| Orgvue | Aviva, a company of 30,000 people. | Org design and workforce planning. Org Design models future structures down to position level. Org Insights does not. | HR, finance and operational data. Danone modelled its workforce from 30 data sources. | Orgvue’s Henshaw AI features are free in beta and may carry fees at general availability. |
| Humanyze | An unnamed energy company that relocated about 1,000 employees. | Combines HR data with collaboration metrics for engagement, alignment and capacity. | Corporate email, video conferencing, meeting scheduling, chat and team workspace tools. | A takeover of its business had not closed by mid-2026. |
| Worklytics | An unnamed Silicon Valley company. | Turns work activity into metrics and network graphs after anonymising and aggregating it. | Connectors for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, GitHub, Jira and more. | Individual row-level datasets are an Enterprise feature. |
Vendors that state a size range
Some vendors state who their product is for. Worklytics’s Business plan is best for organisations with 100 to 1,000 employees. Praisidio’s product for ADP Workforce Now is built for HR leaders at companies with 50 to 2,000 employees. HireRoad’s PeopleInsight serves teams of 300 to 3,000 employees. Ask each one for a customer with a headcount like yours.
What the published prices tell you, and what sits outside them
Most of these vendors give a quote and no price, so a budget needs a few public anchors. Visier prices by the number of employees and refers buyers to sales. Crunchr, One Model, SAP and the Worklytics Enterprise plan are priced by quote.
Dayforce prices People Analytics at $28.80 per employee per year in its published price book. At list price for 2,000 employees that is $57,600 a year. Dayforce’s own summary file for AI tools puts its pricing at per employee per month and not public. Ask which unit applies to you. ADP prices Enhanced Insights at $3.00 per employee per month. At list price for 2,000 employees that is $72,000 a year. The first payment is 100% off.
Humanyze’s 12-month price for 2,000 to 2,499 employees is $2.75. Humanyze does not make clear whether that is per employee. Ask for the unit and the period.
UK public bodies publish contract values for Orgvue. They include £146,520 as a ceiling over 24 months and £904,322 over three years. HM Revenue and Customs awarded a £3,393,874 contract over three years. The Ministry of Justice awarded one at £7,070,895 over three years. They cover different Orgvue products and terms. Public orders run from six figures to several million pounds. Ask each vendor to price your scope.
Some costs sit outside the list price. Orgvue order forms carry an annual increase of 7%. Workday Data Cloud needs a Flex Credits subscription. Oracle requires an employee-count licence to send data to an outside system. Orgvue’s Henshaw AI features are free in beta, and fees may be introduced at general availability.
Six problems that grow with company size
These six problems grow with headcount, and each is easier to settle before you sign than after.
An overage notice can arrive mid-term
A broad headcount definition makes this more likely. Visier may issue an overage notice if you load more employees than you bought. The notice takes effect at once unless you reject it within 15 days. To reject it, you must also resend your data with fewer employees within 45 days.
One missed date can buy another full term
Visier renews each order for a term equal to the expiring one. Orgvue and Crunchr renew for one year. UKG renews for the term stated in the order. The notice you must give differs. Visier and UKG need 60 days, Orgvue needs 90 days and Crunchr needs six months. Fees at Visier, and order forms at SAP and Workday, are non-cancellable. So a missed date is expensive. Put each date in a shared calendar when you sign.
Works councils may have a say
In Germany, the works council has a say over technical devices designed to monitor employees’ behaviour or performance. That is a co-determination right under section 87 of the Works Constitution Act. Ask your lawyers whether a tool that reads email, meeting or chat activity counts as one. Humanyze and Worklytics analyse that kind of activity.
The EU AI Act reaches tools that judge people
Annex III of the EU AI Act covers AI meant to monitor and evaluate workers’ performance and behaviour. It is high-risk unless Article 6(3) exempts it, and a system that profiles people is never exempt. Where a system stays high-risk, employers must tell workers’ representatives and the affected workers before they use it. These duties start on 2 December 2027.
Pay and reporting duties need figures from somewhere
If you employ people in the EU, you will need pay gap and workforce figures, and some products offer them. An EU directive requires employers with 250 workers or more to provide pay gap information by 7 June 2027. They must then repeat it every year. EU sustainability reporting covers companies above EUR 450 million in net turnover and an average of 1,000 employees. SAP offers Pay Transparency Insights for EU pay reporting. Crunchr offers ready-to-use CSRD dashboards but does not produce statutory reports.
Exit windows are short next to the contract
Renewal notice dates fall months before a term ends, and access can stop within weeks of it. Workday gives limited access for up to 60 days on written request. SAP’s sample terms give up to one month, and only if you ask at least one month before. UKG keeps data available for review, reporting and export until deletion is requested or the service ends. Visier deletes your data within 30 days. Orgvue deletes it within three months. Take a full export before you give notice.
What to ask each vendor before you sign
Put these to the vendors on your shortlist. Each question has a good answer to listen for.
- Visier: Will you write a headcount definition that leaves out contractors into the order? Will you give 30 days before an overage notice takes effect? Good answer: Both in writing in the order form.
- Crunchr: Which workers count in the headcount that sets our fee? Does the fee fall if our headcount falls during the term? Good answer: A written definition and a stated rule for a fall in headcount.
- Orgvue: Will you cap the 7% annual increase for our order form? Will you send a written reminder 90 days before renewal? Good answer: A written cap below 7% and a reminder date in the order form.
- Workday: Does People Analytics for us need Prism or Data Cloud? How many Flex Credits does that need each year? Good answer: A named list of products and a Flex Credits quantity in the order form.
- SAP: Which licences or other paid usage does People Intelligence need for our headcount, including workforce planning? Can we lower volumes at renewal? Good answer: A full licence list with prices and a written renewal rule.
- Oracle: Do we need an employee-count licence to send HCM Analytics data to our own data store? Good answer: A yes or no, with the price in the order form.
- UKG: Is the Workforce Intelligence Hub live for our countries today? What date will you put in the contract? Good answer: A named list of countries and a date in the contract.
- Dayforce: Is our price per employee per year, as in your published price book, or per employee per month? Good answer: One unit, written in the order form.
- ADP: Does the Enhanced Insights price hold for our headcount after the discounted first payment? Good answer: A fixed price per employee for the full term.
- One Model: Which edition do we need? What does each extra data source cost? What data do we get back when the contract ends, and in what format? Good answer: A price for each edition and source, and a written data return list.
- Humanyze: Who is the contracting party, and who owns the service for the whole term? Is $2.75 for 2,000 to 2,499 employees a price per employee, and for what period? Good answer: A named company in the contract, and a unit and period in the quote.
- Worklytics: Does the Teams connector read message content or only metadata for us? Will you give written notice before you end or suspend our account? Good answer: A written list of what each connector reads and a notice period in the contract.
