Common questions
Is TUKO a good Sprout alternative?
For small businesses that want PH payroll plus their operations in one app, yes. Sprout serves mid-market Philippine HR; TUKO covers attendance, leave, and payroll with SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG/BIR rules — alongside orders, inventory, and payments — in a self-serve app built for teams of 2–50.
Does TUKO compute Philippine statutory deductions like Sprout?
Yes. TUKO's pay runs apply country-aware statutory rules — SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG contributions and BIR withholding tax — plus 13th month pay. Every run is review-gated and recorded with a full audit trail.
When is Sprout the better choice?
If you're a larger Philippine organization needing a dedicated HR suite — performance management, org charts, benefits administration — Sprout's depth is built for that scale.
