What is Fingercheck?

Fingercheck's product page is sparse — small SMB payroll wins and a quiet 10 months since the last named release.

Fingercheck's tracked feed is dominated by duplicates and feed-index pages. The two real moves in the last year are employee self-service for missed punches (July 2025) and a New York pay-rate compliance form helper (July 2025). Both serve the SMB payroll/time-tracking customer directly — one shifts admin off managers, the other reduces compliance risk for a single regulated state.

What is Tanda?

Tanda is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.

Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.

Fingercheck vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side

Fingercheck logo0.0

Fingercheck's product page is sparse — small SMB payroll wins and a quiet 10 months since the last named release.

◆ Current state

Fingercheck's tracked feed is dominated by duplicates and feed-index pages. The two real moves in the last year are employee self-service for missed punches (July 2025) and a New York pay-rate compliance form helper (July 2025). Both serve the SMB payroll/time-tracking customer directly — one shifts admin off managers, the other reduces compliance risk for a single regulated state.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence is slow and the moves are SMB-pragmatic: small workflow time-savers and state-by-state compliance fixes. There's no AI or platform-architecture story visible in this feed — Fingercheck is operating like a steady SMB tool rather than a company chasing the agentic-HR narrative its larger competitors (Rippling, Gusto, ADP) are leaning into.

◆ Prediction

Likely next moves are more state-specific compliance helpers (California, New Jersey wage-rule territory) and continued self-service workflows for time and PTO. An AI-assistant addition is plausible but not signaled by anything in the visible feed.

T8.8

Tanda is shipping small, constantly, and most of this week's work is in reporting and payroll plumbing.

◆ Current state

Tanda releases in a near-daily drip of narrow, well-scoped changes. The current cluster is dominated by reporting — custom reports can now be shared org-wide, columns and rows reorder and stay put, and a batch of new columns and filters landed across the payroll and rostering reports. Payroll gained unit-based earnings rates and a PAPDIS 1.1 export for UK pension providers, while the roster page got an admin toggle to hide unused features.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is configuration depth rather than new surface: give admins switches, give reports structure, and cover country-specific payroll obligations as they come up. The UK pension export and the Australia-only SMS sender ID in the same week show a product widening regionally through compliance details, not through a single expansion push. The new roster layout is becoming the assumed baseline, since features are now being built only for it.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the same cadence — additional per-region payroll exports and further admin-level controls over what the new roster layout shows, with the older layout drifting further behind.
