#2 of 8 in HRIS

Rippling ranks #2 of 8 in HRIS, with an Alt Score of 93. It is proprietary, sold by subscription and available on Web, iOS and Android. 11 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.

Rippling is a workforce management platform that unifies HR, IT, payroll, and finance on one employee data model, so changes in one module (a hire, a role change) propagate automatically to the others. It is sold as a base platform plus separately priced modules (HR, IT, Finance, Global Payroll), with pricing available only through a custom sales quote.

Who it's for

Companies from roughly 1 to 10,000+ employees that want HR, IT device/identity management, payroll, and finance operations running on one system instead of separate point tools.

What you get

A base HCM platform plus purchasable modules: HR (HRIS, benefits, recruiting, performance management, time & attendance, learning), IT (identity & access, device management, inventory, compliance), Payroll (US and Global Payroll, EOR/contractor management), and Finance (expense management, corporate cards, bill pay).

How it works

All modules read and write to one employee record, so a change made in one place (e.g., a role change or termination) automatically updates access, payroll, and benefits elsewhere. Pricing is not published; prospects submit company size and country on a quote form and Rippling's sales team returns per-module, per-employee-per-month rates.

Where Rippling stands out

Multi-country payroll only 1 of 7 apps
