Frequently asked questions
Should I use BambooHR or RedstoneHR?
If you need a complete HRIS with onboarding, performance management, and US payroll, BambooHR is solid. For focused leave management with coverage warnings, Bradford Factor, and an AI policy assistant, RedstoneHR is the better choice.
Can I use RedstoneHR alongside BambooHR?
You can, but there is no direct integration between the two today. Teams that run both import their people into RedstoneHR from a spreadsheet or Google Workspace and use RedstoneHR for leave.
