MambaHR vs TriNet

TriNet co-employs your team and assigns a rep.

MambaHR does the admin, and you stay the employer.

TriNet is a PEO (professional employer organization). It co-employs your staff, bundles benefits and gives you an HR service rep. MambaHR does the HR admin for your team without co-employment. You keep your tax ID and your benefits, and you approve what matters.

The difference

What changes for your team.

Your tax ID, your employees.

TriNet's PEO model co-employs your people and shares some employer duties. MambaHR leaves your employment relationship as it is, so there is no co-employment to unwind later.

Answers without waiting for a rep.

TriNet assigns a rep for harder questions. MambaHR answers in Slack as soon as the question is asked: leave eligibility, state rules, worker classification. Judgment calls come to you.

Keep your plans.

PEO benefits are bundled, so leaving TriNet usually means shopping for new coverage. MambaHR does not run benefits, so you keep your plans and your broker.
