What is Peoplebox?
Peoplebox's visible changelog covers its 2020 founding arc — OKRs, surveys, and 1-on-1s shipped as the three pillars in three months.
The changelog data available stops in mid-2020, so the visible history is Peoplebox's early product arc rather than its current state. In that window, the team shipped its three core pillars in rapid succession: real-time 1-on-1 collaboration in March, OKRs in June, and Employee Engagement Surveys in late May. Surrounding releases polished the homepage, action items, and reminders. The cadence reads like an early-stage HR product racing to assemble a complete suite.
What is Tanda?
Tanda lets managers pick who can claim a vacant shift and adds bulk availability approvals.
Tanda's workforce and payroll platform ships rostering, HR and payroll controls in near-daily batches. On 11 and 12 November managers gained a choice of who can claim a vacant shift, bulk approval of availability requests, a roster publish menu that remembers settings, and skills ratings inside performance reviews. Payroll got team-level journal accounts for split autopay salaries, and the old wage comparison report was retired in favour of Wage Compare.
Peoplebox vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side
Peoplebox's visible changelog covers its 2020 founding arc — OKRs, surveys, and 1-on-1s shipped as the three pillars in three months.
◆ Current state
The changelog data available stops in mid-2020, so the visible history is Peoplebox's early product arc rather than its current state. In that window, the team shipped its three core pillars in rapid succession: real-time 1-on-1 collaboration in March, OKRs in June, and Employee Engagement Surveys in late May. Surrounding releases polished the homepage, action items, and reminders. The cadence reads like an early-stage HR product racing to assemble a complete suite.
◆ Where it's heading
Within the visible window, Peoplebox is moving from a 1-on-1-focused tool toward a full performance-management trio (1-on-1s + OKRs + surveys). The COVID-era timing of the realtime collaboration release suggests product priorities were shaped by remote-work demand. Note: the absence of more recent entries means anything about the product's 2025–26 direction would be speculation; check the product website or live changelog for current state.
◆ Prediction
Within the entries shown, the next logical move was tighter integration between the three pillars — OKRs that pull review data, surveys that feed 1-on-1 talking points. Whether that happened post-2020 isn't visible here.
Tanda
7.5HR
Tanda lets managers pick who can claim a vacant shift and adds bulk availability approvals.
◆ Current state
Tanda's workforce and payroll platform ships rostering, HR and payroll controls in near-daily batches. On 11 and 12 November managers gained a choice of who can claim a vacant shift, bulk approval of availability requests, a roster publish menu that remembers settings, and skills ratings inside performance reviews. Payroll got team-level journal accounts for split autopay salaries, and the old wage comparison report was retired in favour of Wage Compare.
◆ Where it's heading
After a 4 November HR Agent beta and SMS in Hire, the latest batch is about cutting manager clicks in scheduling and approvals. Several changes consolidate older tools, such as the retired wage report and the redesigned publish menu, which points to a cleanup of the rostering surface alongside new HR features.
◆ Prediction
The redesigned roster publish menu is due to go live this week, and more consolidation of older reports and menus is likely; the entries do not show the HR Agent beta's next step.
