Based on the data on this page, Sage People is the stronger choice for most Salesforce AppExchange merchants — 4.8★ vs Employee Manager's 3.4★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.

The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly for stores at sub-1K monthly orders where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Sage People; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Employee Manager's 18-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Sage People's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Salesforce AppExchange listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.
