Wurxa VS Diffee

Wurxa's answer

Wurxa talks to ZKTeco biometric terminals directly over the native ADMS push protocol, so a business keeps the hardware already mounted on its walls and replaces only the software layer above it. There is no BioTime or HikCentral server to maintain and no CSV export step sitting between attendance and payroll.

From that same workspace it runs rosters and shift rules across multiple sites, leave that follows UAE labour law, employee visa and document expiry tracking, and WPS-ready SIF payroll where gratuity and overtime are calculated from the actual punches rather than re-keyed by hand.

It is also modular rather than a bundled suite: attendance, payroll, assets, tasks and the PRO case-management line activate on the same workspace as a company needs them.

Wurxa's answer

Three practical reasons.

Hardware retention. Most UAE alternatives assume you will buy their devices or keep running the vendor's desktop software. Wurxa runs on the ZKTeco terminals a company already owns, which usually makes switching a software decision rather than a capital one.

Prices you can read without a call. Every tier is published: free up to 5 employees, then a flat yearly fee per tier with a staff cap instead of per-seat billing, plus a 14-day full-feature trial with no card. Locations are unlimited on every tier, which matters for multi-branch operators.

Modularity. Attendance, payroll, assets, tasks and the PRO line for typing centres and PRO offices switch on individually on the same workspace, so a company is not buying a full HR suite to solve one problem.

Where it is not the right fit: businesses without biometric terminals get less out of the core wedge, and companies that need a formally certified security posture today should ask about current status before committing.

Wurxa's answer

Small and mid-sized businesses in the UAE and the wider Gulf that run shift work across more than one location: multi-branch retail, F&B, facilities and similar operations, typically somewhere between 5 and 500 staff, usually with ZKTeco biometric terminals already installed.

The people in it day to day are owners, HR admins and branch managers rather than a dedicated HR department, so the product is built to be set up without an implementation project.

A second line serves typing centres and PRO offices, where the work is customer paperwork, document renewals and case billing rather than the company's own staff.

Wurxa's answer

React 19 and Tailwind CSS v4 on the front end, shipped as an installable PWA so the employee-facing app works on phones without an app store install.

The API is Hono, with Prisma 7 over PostgreSQL 16. Push notifications use the Web Push standard with VAPID.

Device communication is a dedicated endpoint speaking ZKTeco's native ADMS push protocol, which is what lets existing biometric terminals report to Wurxa directly instead of to a local BioTime server.
