Deputy vs Tanda

Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.

Deputy logo5.0

Deputy leans into Australian payroll compliance and tighter pay-data access.

◆ Current state

Deputy's readable recent moves are payroll and permissions: PayDay Super support for Australian employers and new controls over who can see pay rates and costs. Beyond those two, the tracked feed is degraded, with several recent 'entries' being scrape artifacts that carry no real title or content ('newImprovement ... 28/04/2026'). The true shipping picture is partly hidden by this crawl noise.

◆ Where it's heading

What's legible points at compliance and access-control hardening for regulated payroll markets across AU, UK, and US enterprise. The recurring theme is trust: who can see sensitive pay data and meeting statutory reporting rules. The feed-quality problem should be fixed before reading much into cadence.

◆ Prediction

Likely continued Australian payroll-compliance work around PayDay Super, plus more granular role and permission controls. Confidence is limited by the number of unparseable entries in the feed.

T7.5

Tanda ships steady workforce and AU-payroll features, plus a Shopify POS integration

◆ Current state

Tanda is filling in workforce-management and Australian payroll details: onboarding reminders, bulk staff reactivation, digital parental consent for underage staff, a new Shopify POS integration, contractor super from external payables, STP finalisation preview improvements, a consecutive-days-off roster validation, and automatic application of the 2026-27 award wage increases and tax cut.

◆ Where it's heading

The work clusters around compliance-heavy AU payroll and award interpretation (STP, super, tax tables, award templates) alongside incremental onboarding and rostering polish. Tanda is deepening its value for award-governed, shift-based employers rather than opening a new product line; the Shopify POS link is the one outward integration expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued AU compliance automation (award updates, STP, super edge cases) and more POS/HR integrations. The availability-request consolidation is flagged as rolling out next. No directional pivot is visible.
