Welcome to the first edition of SAATKORN WorkTech Insights!
Which WorkTech providers are attracting the most attention? Which companies are people researching, reading about and listening to? – With the relaunch of SAATKORN in October 2026, I now have the opportunity to answer these questions using data from across the entire platform. And I’m kicking things off straight away with one of the most interesting WorkTech categories: Compensation & Benefits.
The most visible providers in the compensation and benefits sector on SAATKORN in October 2026
From pension platforms and flexible employee benefits to remuneration management and total rewards: the compensation and benefits sector is a diverse and increasingly technology-driven market. But which providers attracted the most attention on SAATKORN in October?
Take a look at the ranking above to see the top 12 providers in this category. The results are interesting:
paylo takes first place with 19 per cent of all attributed page views and comparisons in this category over the last 30 days.
That’s a clear lead over DYNO (8 per cent) and ginkgo (4 per cent). Several other providers, including Hibob, Aeqium, emplu, LiveRem, Benefits.me, corplife, gradar, Pluxee and comprehensive, also made it into the top group – followed by a long list of a further 40 providers in this category.
Why paylo tops the ranking
One key factor is editorial coverage. In September, I featured paylo’s founder and CEO, Marcus Steinberg, both in my start-up interview series and on the SAATKORN podcast, which drove more traffic to paylo’s profile in October.
And paylo’s story is truly fascinating: imagine building a platform for employee benefits with just three human staff members and around ten AI agents. That’s exactly what Marcus and his team are doing. Their aim is to make employee benefits more flexible, personalised and easier to manage, particularly for smaller businesses. This is a great example of how WorkTech innovation and AI-based entrepreneurship come together. The related content offers those interested further opportunities to discover paylo and helps explain the company’s strong presence in my ranking. Read my start-up interview with Marcus Steinberg and listen to my conversation with him on the SAATKORN podcast.
SAATKORN WorkTech Insights:
What exactly am I measuring?
An important distinction: with SAATKORN WorkTech Insights, I measure visibility on SAATKORN, not market share, product quality or customer satisfaction.
My rankings combine three types of activity: each provider’s percentage corresponds to its share of all attributed views and plays within the ‘Remuneration & Benefits’ category.
- Directory views: Visits to WorkTech providers, product profiles and comparisons.
- Article views: Views of editorial content associated with individual providers.
- Podcast plays: Plays of podcast episodes associated with individual providers.
A first look at the overall figures behind SAATKORN
October also marked the start of a new chapter for SAATKORN. Over the last 30 days, I have recorded the following activity on my newly launched platform:
16,732 views of supplier and product profiles, supplier comparisons and RFI uploads, plus 5,430 podcast plays.
These figures, of course, represent different types of activity, not individual visitors, and provide the context for the visibility data I’m currently analysing. For me, it’s not the absolute volume that’s most exciting. It’s the opportunity to understand which WorkTech topics, providers and perspectives attract attention over time. And I’m only just getting started.
A WorkTech category every week
This is the first instalment of a new editorial series. Over the coming months, I’ll be taking a closer look at a different WorkTech category each week: recruitment. Professional development. HR management. Skills. Planning and strategy. And many more.
The aim is simple: to make WorkTech more transparent.
Once I’ve covered all the categories, I’ll start again from the beginning. That’s when it gets particularly interesting: which providers are gaining visibility? Which companies are losing ground? And how is the focus shifting within the WorkTech landscape?
Over time, through the SAATKORN WorkTech Insights, I’ll be providing a growing collection of data points on the WorkTech market. My aim is to offer a transparent overview of what’s attracting attention within the SAATKORN ecosystem.
