Bayzat is the polished UAE incumbent. Peoplifi gives you the same WPS-compliant payroll, end-of-service gratuity engine, and benefits tracking — plus a built-in desktop time-tracking agent and lower per-seat pricing.
If you are deep in Bayzat's insurance marketplace and value their UAE-only focus, Bayzat is a safe choice. If you want WPS payroll, time tracking, and HR in one product at a fraction of the cost — and you are willing to bring your own broker — Peoplifi delivers more for less.
Bayzat is the dominant HR + payroll + insurance platform for UAE SMBs, with thousands of customers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the wider UAE. The product covers core HR, WPS-compliant payroll, end-of-service gratuity tracking, leave management, and a built-in health-insurance brokerage. Strong in UAE; limited outside.
Quote-based, but public-reported tiers: Essentials around AED 18 per employee per month, Plus around AED 28, Enterprise from AED 45+. Insurance brokerage is a separate revenue line.
Starter AED 11 per seat per month. Growth AED 26 per seat per month. Business AED 44 per seat per month. WPS, end-of-service gratuity, payroll, time tracking, and HR included on every plan.
UAE SMBs (50–500 staff) that want a single bill for HR + payroll + health insurance, value brand familiarity, and prefer a sales-led onboarding.
UAE SMBs and mid-market teams that already have a benefits broker, want time tracking included, and prefer self-serve setup with transparent AED pricing.
Yes. Peoplifi generates SIF files in the exact format ENBD, Mashreq, ADCB, FAB, and other major UAE banks accept. Upload directly to your corporate banking portal — no manual reformatting.
Yes. Peoplifi computes EOS gratuity for both limited and unlimited contracts under UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021). The engine handles the 1/3 / 2/3 / full-payment rules, accrual on basic salary, and pro-rata for partial years.
For a 50-person UAE team, Bayzat Essentials runs roughly AED 950 per month. Peoplifi Growth covers the same usage at AED 1,300 — but includes time tracking, performance reviews, and onboarding workflows that Bayzat charges separately for. Net effect for most teams: 30–45% lower total cost.
Peoplifi does not run a health-insurance brokerage. We integrate with major UAE brokers (Sukoon, Daman partners, Allianz Care) so you can keep your existing broker relationship. If you currently buy insurance through Bayzat, you'll need to move it to a standalone broker before switching.
Yes. Peoplifi tracks UAE National headcount, MoHRE Tasheel quotas, and the Nafis programme contributions. We are not an MoHRE-approved Tas'heel agent, but we generate the reports your PRO needs.
Bayzat is the most-recognised name in UAE HR-tech, with a strong track record across thousands of customers, particularly Dubai SMBs. Peoplifi is the newer entrant focused on the same UAE pillars — WPS-compliant payroll, end-of-service gratuity under Article 51, and Emiratisation tracking — but with a sharper price point, broader product breadth (built-in desktop time tracking, performance reviews, onboarding workflows on every plan), and a self-serve trial that removes the demo-gate friction. Most UAE buyers comparing the two are deciding between Bayzat's mature insurance-brokerage model and Peoplifi's product-led, lower-cost alternative.
Both platforms handle WPS-compliant SIF file generation for the major UAE banks (Emirates NBD, Mashreq, ADCB, FAB, Emirates Islamic, RAK Bank). Peoplifi maintains every bank's specific schema with periodic updates as banks publish revisions; the SIF generation runs in seconds from the monthly payroll close. Bayzat's WPS workflow is comparable in capability, with the main differentiator being Peoplifi's tighter integration of payroll with on-platform time tracking — for hourly or shift-based staff, hours worked flow directly into the WPS-eligible payroll without a separate timesheet import step.
Peoplifi's EOS engine implements Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 in detail — 21 days for years 1-5, 30 days for years 6+, basic-salary-only calculation, 24-month cap, automatic forfeiture handling for Article 44 dismissals, pre-2022 vs post-2022 service splits for long-tenured employees. Live accrual is shown to employees in their self-service dashboard, eliminating the surprise factor at separation. Bayzat offers a comparable EOS engine in its core product. The differentiator for some employers is Peoplifi's IAS 19 actuarial-valuation export, which makes year-end gratuity provisioning straightforward.
The most material structural difference between Bayzat and Peoplifi is health insurance. Bayzat operates a fully-integrated health-insurance brokerage as part of its platform — quotes from major UAE carriers, claims management, dependant additions, and renewal optimisation, all in one place. This is genuinely valuable for SMBs that want a one-vendor experience. Peoplifi takes a different position: we focus on HR, payroll, and time tracking, and integrate with established UAE brokers (Sukoon, Daman partners, Allianz Care, IMG) for insurance, letting customers keep their existing broker relationship. Buyers should choose based on whether bundled insurance is a priority — Bayzat wins if yes, Peoplifi wins if you prefer to keep insurance with a specialist broker and pay less for HR-payroll software.
On a per-seat basis, Peoplifi's pricing (AED 11 Starter / AED 26 Growth / AED 44 Business) sits below Bayzat's typical pricing across all tiers, with the further benefit that Peoplifi includes time tracking on every plan rather than as an add-on. For a 50-person UAE team comparing Growth tier to Bayzat Essentials, Peoplifi typically delivers 30-45% lower total HR-software cost while bundling features Bayzat charges extra for. The trade-off is that Bayzat's bundled insurance can absorb some of the cost differential if you would have paid a broker separately. Most buyers run a side-by-side cost model including both software and insurance to make the right decision.
The migration path is well-trodden. (1) Export employee master data from Bayzat as CSV — Peoplifi imports the standard fields without manual mapping. (2) Replicate your leave policies, salary structures, and approval workflows in Peoplifi (typically 1-2 days for an SMB). (3) Connect your WPS bank in Peoplifi and run one parallel WPS file to validate net-pay totals match. (4) Notify Bayzat 30 days before your renewal date to avoid auto-renewal lock-in. (5) Move your insurance to a standalone broker if you were using Bayzat's brokerage. Most migrations complete in 1-2 weeks of HR effort, with go-live aligned to a clean payroll cycle.
