The most complete all-in-one for growing companies that want payroll, HR, devices and apps on one employee record, sold by quote with modules that stack.
What it is
Rippling is built on one employee record that drives HR (HRIS, onboarding, time off, performance, recruiting), US and global payroll, benefits, a US PEO, employer of record, global contractor payments, IT (device management, identity and app provisioning) and spend (expenses, cards, bill pay). Change someone's role once and payroll, apps and devices follow. Pricing is quote-based: rippling.com/pricing says plans start at $8 per employee per month with a monthly base fee, and most products add their own per-employee price. Its small-business page put that base fee at $40 a month, and its own payroll review listed US payroll at $8 per employee billed yearly ($10 monthly), per dated October 2026 captures; confirm in your quote. Eligible US VC-backed startups get 6 months free. Employer of record covers about 115 countries. Pricing checked on rippling.com November 13, 2026.
Best for
- Growing companies (20 to 1,000+ people) replacing several HR and IT tools
- Teams with employees in several states or countries
- Companies that want onboarding to provision laptops and apps automatically
What we like
- Payroll, HR, IT and spend on one employee record
- Strong automation: role changes flow to payroll, apps and devices
- US payroll in all states plus global payroll, PEO and EOR from one vendor
- Free for 6 months for eligible VC-backed startups
What to watch
- Quote only: no full price list, only a from-$8 starting rate plus a base fee
- Every module adds a per-employee fee on top of the required platform
- More setup and admin than Gusto for a 5-person business
- Support and contract terms depend on what you negotiate
