Is Bob or Workday cheaper?

Bob is the cheaper option — it offers a free plan (Paid with free trial). Workday starts at Included with service subscription. Both publish their pricing on the Slack Marketplace; AppRanks mirrors what's listed on each refresh cycle.

Should I choose Bob or Workday?

AppRanks cannot recommend one over the other from published marketplace data: the Slack Marketplace does not expose a rating or review base that separates them. Read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown, and compare against your own requirements rather than a headline number.

Which is faster to set up, Bob or Workday?

Both apps are one-click installs from the Slack Marketplace. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the Slack Marketplace publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.

Which works better for small vs large Slack Marketplace teams?

Bob typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). Workday typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.

Can I migrate data between Bob and Workday?

Migration support varies by app and category. Bob and Workday both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Workday" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.

Bob

Bob brings HiBob's people data and everyday HR actions into Slack, so employees, managers, and HR teams can get answers and take action without switching systems. With Bob in Slack, users can ask natural-language questions and receive live answers from HiBob, governed by the permissions configured in Bob. The assistant can only access and act on the data the authorized Bob service user is allowed to use. Bob helps teams reduce routine HR friction, improve self-service, and make trusted people context available where work already happens. What you can do: Employee data Find employees and retrieve permitted employee profile fields, such as name, email, department, start date, manager, or other available fields. Example: "Find all employees in the London R&D department and show their name, email, and start date." Time off Check who's out, view time-off balances, and submit time-off requests where permitted. Example: "Who's out today?" or "Submit vacation time off for April 12 to April 16." Tasks Retrieve employee tasks, such as open onboarding or HR-related tasks. Example: "Show open tasks for Emma Simmons." With Bob in Slack, employees can self-serve common HR questions, managers can get faster team context, and HR teams can reduce repetitive requests while keeping people data connected to Bob's existing permission model.
