Rippling

Rippling is the all-in-one workforce platform that combines HR (HRIS, payroll, benefits, performance), IT (device management, app provisioning, identity), and Finance (corporate cards, expense management, bill pay) in a single unified system. Founded in 2016 by Parker Conrad (Zenefits founder), Rippling has grown into a $13.5B-valued platform serving thousands of mid-market and enterprise customers globally. Pricing is custom-quote based with no public self-serve tier — buyers select which modules they need (HR Platform, IT Cloud, Spend Management, Global Payroll) and Rippling provides a tailored quote. Public benchmarks place Rippling in the $8-$25 per employee per month range across modules, with significant volume discounts at scale. The platform is designed to replace 5-10 separate point tools (BambooHR + Okta + Brex + Jira + Carta) with one unified system, which is a meaningful procurement and integration cost saving for growing companies. Rippling's AI Copilot launched in 2024 brings AI assistance across the platform: natural language queries on workforce data ("show me employees who started in Q1 with no completed onboarding"), automated workflow suggestions, anomaly detection on expenses and payroll, and AI-powered policy recommendations. The platform supports global payroll in 50+ countries through its Global Payroll module, with EOR (Employer of Record) services for hiring international employees. Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from venture investors including Founders Fund, Sequoia, and Coatue, with public customers including Notion, Anthropic, and Calm. The platform operates under SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX compliance, with regional data residency available on Enterprise plans.
