Rippling

HR, IT and payroll in one system.

What it is

Rippling connects HR, payroll, IT device management and app provisioning to one employee record. The reason to buy it is the single record: hiring someone provisions payroll, accounts and a laptop from the same action, and offboarding revokes all of it. The trade-off is consolidation risk, since replacing one module means unpicking it from the rest.

Pick it or skip it

Pick Rippling if

  • Companies that want HR, payroll, IT device management and app provisioning on one employee record — hiring provisions accounts and a laptop from the same action
  • Buyers who want to pick modules rather than a suite: Rippling's pricing page asks which services you need and quotes on that basis
  • Teams past the small-company stage — the quote form's headcount bands run 1-10, 11-50, 51-250, 251-1000 and 1001+

Skip it if

  • You need a published price to shortlist vendors: Rippling publishes none, and the pricing page is a quote request form, not a plan table
  • You want to compare before talking to sales — the form asks for a work email, company name, headcount and phone number before you see a figure
  • Consolidation worries you: one record driving payroll, apps and devices means replacing a single module later means unpicking it from the rest

Our verdict

The consolidation is real and valuable. Model the module costs before signing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Rippling cost?
Rippling does not publish prices. Its pricing page is a quote request form: you tell Rippling which services you need and it sends a custom quote. The form asks for a work email, full name, company name, country, phone number and a headcount band (1-10, 11-50, 51-250, 251-1000 or 1001+). Because the product is modular and priced by the services you select, there is no single list price to compare — the figure depends on which modules you take and how many employees and contractors you have.
