// Benchmark Category
Workday. SAP SuccessFactors. Oracle HCM. ADP. UKG. Per-employee pricing structures are intentionally opaque — vendors negotiate hard because switching costs are enormous. Our benchmark data eliminates that information asymmetry.
// 01
Workday HCM, Financials, Adaptive Planning, and Peakon pricing benchmarks. PEPM pricing is opaque by design — our 500+ deal database gives you the real market rate by company size and module mix.
Most Requested
Core HR, Payroll, Benefits, Absence, and Talent Management. PEPM pricing varies by company size — our benchmark data covers 250+ Workday HCM deals across 1,000 to 100,000 employee organizations. 3-year deals average 18–25% better pricing than annual.
Cloud ERP for financial management — GL, AP, AR, procurement, and reporting. Often bundled with HCM in multi-product deals. Our benchmark data covers bundle pricing structures and module-by-module cost breakdowns.
FP&A and workforce planning module acquired from Adaptive Insights. Standalone Adaptive pricing benchmarks differ significantly from pricing when bundled into a full Workday suite deal — our data covers both scenarios.
// 02
Employee Central, Talent, Learning, and Recruiting pricing benchmarks. SAP's RISE bundling model has changed pricing dynamics significantly — standalone SuccessFactors pricing vs. RISE bundle pricing are very different.
SAP Ecosystem
Core HR module — the foundation of the SuccessFactors suite. Benchmarks significantly lower than Workday for similarly-sized organizations. SAP customers within active S/4HANA or RISE contracts receive strategic discounts.
Employee Central + Recruiting + Onboarding + Performance + Learning + Succession. Full-suite deals where SAP bundles all modules show the highest discount potential — benchmark data covers 80+ full-suite negotiations.
// 03
Oracle HCM Cloud, Global HR, Workforce Management, and Talent pricing benchmarks. Oracle's HCM pricing is bundled heavily with Fusion ERP — standalone HCM pricing differs substantially from bundled Oracle Cloud deals.
Global HR, Payroll, Benefits, and Workforce Management. Oracle aggressively cross-sells HCM into existing ERP customers. Benchmark data shows 22–35% discounts when HCM is negotiated as part of a broader Oracle Cloud application deal.
