Overview

Rippling combines HR, IT and finance applications — payroll, benefits, recruiting, performance, device and identity management, corporate cards and expenses — on a single workforce data platform. Products share one record of roles, locations and reporting lines, so permissions, approvals and workflows are defined once and enforced across apps. Reporting and AI run on that shared data.

Best for
Companies wanting HR, IT and finance admin — payroll, devices, spend — on one shared data platform.
Pricing
