Equate+ review
A compliance-focused pay equity platform with strong analysis and reporting, but a high entry price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Equate+ is pay equity and gender pay gap compliance software for organisations operating across the United Kingdom and European Union. It ingests payroll information through HRIS platforms or CSV templates, calculates mean, median and quartile pay gaps, and produces submission-ready reports. The platform is aimed at teams that need more than a one-off calculation, with tools for root-cause analysis, regulatory obligations, employee pay-information requests, audit trails and year-on-year dashboards.
Pricing is structured around three annual plans. Essentials costs £4,800 per year and covers UK Gender Pay Gap reporting, one legal entity, CSV data upload, standard dashboards, submission export and email support. Professional costs £12,500 per year and adds UK and EU Directive compliance, HRIS integration, root-cause analysis, employee request management, audit trail and data governance, and a deadline tracker. Enterprise includes unlimited employees and entities, SSO, advanced permissions, custom HRIS integrations, an on-premise deployment option and an SLA-backed uptime guarantee. The entry level is therefore suited to smaller, UK-focused reporting needs, while broader compliance and governance capabilities sit in Professional and Enterprise.
The strongest case for Equate+ is its combination of statistical analysis and compliance workflow. It connects with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM, while secure CSV upload supports organisations without a listed HRIS connection. Its reporting, obligation tracking and immutable records can help create a repeatable review process rather than a standalone report. The trade-off is cost and scope: Essentials is limited to one legal entity, and the starting arrangement is capped at 500 employees. Organisations needing unlimited scale, advanced access controls or on-premise deployment should consider Enterprise; teams seeking only basic pay-gap calculations may find Equate+ broader and more expensive than necessary.
