Cleira review
A focused pay-equity tool with free analysis and advanced reporting from €3,000 per year.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cleira is web-based pay-equity software for EU employers analyzing workforce data under EU Directive 2023/970. It is particularly suited to mid-market organizations with 100–1,000 employees that need statistical gender pay-gap analysis, reporting, and ongoing tracking. The Free plan provides in-browser compliance analysis, mean and median pay gaps, pay quartiles, bonus participation, category-level 5% breach flagging, and plain-language guidance. That makes it a practical starting point for smaller teams or organizations assessing their reporting needs before moving to a paid tier.
Pricing separates basic analysis from deeper investigation and reporting. The Free plan costs €0. Professional starts at €3,000 per year with annual billing and adds adjusted regression analysis, employee-level special-case detection, configurable rulesets, multi-year tracking, branded PDF and Excel reports, team roles, and a dedicated database. The published positioning lists Professional for up to 1,000 employees. Enterprise adds multi-entity and consolidated reporting, bulk user management, SSO through Azure AD using SAML, audit trail and GDPR governance, and a 99.9% uptime SLA; its pricing is contact-sales. Buyers should choose Professional when analytical depth and filing-ready outputs are the priority, while larger or more structured groups will need Enterprise.
Cleira’s strongest functional focus is the combination of gap views and investigation tools. It covers mean and median gender gaps, base and variable pay, pay-quartile distribution, bonus participation, automatic 5% breach flagging, adjusted regression, and employee-level special-case detection. Configurable rulesets, data re-runs, and multi-year tracking support recurring analysis rather than a single report. Enterprise also connects with Workday, SAP, and Helios, improving fit for organizations already using those HR systems. Cleira is a strong choice for EU-focused teams seeking a focused statistical pay-gap workflow; organizations needing capabilities outside its web-based, pay-transparency scope should consider another product.
