Forge Verified Customer Reviews (2026)

Most HR software is built for the US market and adapted for Canada as an afterthought — missing native payroll compliance, storing data on American servers, and offering no French-language support. Folks is different. A Canadian-owned platform designed from day one for the way Canadian businesses actually run. Folks handles CRA-compliant payroll natively: automatic T4 and RL-1 generation, ROE filing to Service Canada, CPP/QPP/CPP2 and EI deductions, multi-province tax calculations, WSIB/WCB, Ontario EHT, and direct deposit — no third-party payroll provider needed. The platform also covers HRIS, applicant tracking with AI-powered candidate matching and integrations with Indeed, LinkedIn, Jobillico, and Talent.com, plus performance management with 360° evaluations. SOC 2 Type 2 certified, with all data hosted exclusively in Canada — governed by PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws, not the US CLOUD Act. Fully bilingual in English and French. Plans start at $6/employee/month. 1,200+ Canadian SMBs across manufacturing, construction, healthcare, non-profit, and professional services already made the switch.

AuctionMethod is white-label auction software built on a flat-fee model: no commissions, no per-lot fees, no platform skim, and no contract, so clients keep the revenue from every sale instead of splitting it with the platform. Since 2012, AuctionMethod has also offered custom auction software development for auction businesses whose workflows do not fit an off-the-shelf platform. Based in Massachusetts, serving the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, AuctionMethod works with auctioneers, estate liquidators, farm and heavy equipment, industrial, salvage and recycling, non-profit, corporations, retail liquidators, auto/car dealers, real estate, arts and collectibles, and single-use auction businesses. Clients keep 100% ownership of their bidder lists, seller lists, item data, images, and transaction history on a fully white-label auction website rather than a shared marketplace listing. AuctionMethod has earned the SourceForge Spring 2026 Top Performer Award in Auction Software and is rated 4.9/5 on Capterra and SourceForge, with a 94% renewal rate. The platform handles catalog and lot management, consignor setup, bidder registration, invoicing, payment processing, tax handling, and reporting, and supports auction event types including timed online auctions, simulcast auctions, blind timed auctions, catalog-only, fixed-price, and perpetual events. For live, rapid-fire simulcast auctions, latency is critical: AuctionMethod specializes in real-time speed under one second so online bidders do not miss the auctioneer's hammer, running on infrastructure that is fully hosted with daily backups, auto-scaling for high traffic, and security updates included, with 100% uptime tracked on a public status page. Pricing starts at $100/mo with a $250 one-time setup charge and is published publicly, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required.
