Agentic Index
Deputy vs Workleap (2026)
Both are about five dollars per user a month and both put agents on people, for entirely different workforces. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Deputy is workforce management for hourly and shift work, with an AI auto scheduler building demand matched compliant rosters connected to time, attendance and payroll, mobile first for frontline teams, documenting 9 of 14. Workleap is employee experience for salaried teams, with an always on Manager Agent that reads people data, preps reviews and one on ones and nudges managers to act, at 8.5. Same price, opposite employee.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Deputy and Workleap are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 969 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Deputy if
- Your workforce is hourly and shift based, and rostering is the daily operational problem.
- Compliance in scheduling is a legal exposure, not a preference.
- Mobile first matters because your people do not sit at desks.
Choose Workleap if
- Your workforce is salaried and managed, and the agent reads people data rather than rosters.
- Reviews and one on ones actually happening is the outcome you want.
- Nudging managers to act is the behaviour change you have failed to get any other way.
