# Ease vs Rippling Rippling is built for tech companies scaling HR and IT. Ease is built for doctors running practices. # Best platform for tech companies. Built for clinical practices. Rippling is a powerful platform. It unifies HR, IT, payroll, and spend management in one product, and the technical depth is real. For a 50-to-500 person tech company, it is hard to beat. Rippling is not built for clinical practices. The product makes assumptions about how teams work, how devices get provisioned, and how procurement happens that fit a SaaS company and do not fit a medical practice. Ease was built around the way doctors work, with a clinical AI agent at the center. | Feature | Ease | Rippling | |----------------------------------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| | Unified HR & Payroll Management | Yes | Yes | | Automated IT & Device Provisioning | Yes | Yes | | Corporate Spend Management | Included | Yes.

You run a tech company at scale. Pick Rippling if you run a tech company, you have 50 or more employees, you need to provision laptops and SaaS access at scale, you have global hiring needs, and you want one product to manage HR, IT, and payroll across that complexity. Rippling executes on that vision as well as anyone. #### Pick Ease if... You run a clinical practice. Pick Ease if you run a clinical practice. The Rippling assumption set (laptops, SaaS apps, distributed engineering teams, global hires, procurement workflows) does not match how a medical practice operates. Doctors hire MAs, front desk staff, RNs, NPs, and PAs. They need malpractice and HIPAA compliance, not SOC 2 evidence collection. Pick Ease if you are below 50 employees and want a clinical agent doing the work. # Pricing Compared What you actually pay ### Rippling $35 – $50/employee/mo Starts at $8/employee/mo for the base platform and scales with modules. Real-world pricing for HR, payroll, and basic IT typically runs $35 to $50/employee/mo. A 10-person practice on Rippling commonly runs $400 to $600/mo before benefits or spend management add-ons. ### Ease $299/mo Platform and agent. $99/mo for the first 3 months for the first 250 verified clinicians. Team add-ons are $10/mo per team member for payroll and $5/mo per team member for HR. # Switching from Rippling in Three Simple Steps 1. **Export your employee data.** Rippling exports clean employee records, payroll history, and benefits enrollment data. 2. **Set up Ease HR and Payroll.** Records migrate in one step. State tax accounts move over without interrupting pay schedules. 3. **Replace the IT modules with your own stack.** Ease does not provision laptops or manage SaaS access. Most clinical practices use a small IT vendor or in-house solution, and the cost savings on the rest of the stack offset the standalone IT spend. ## Frequently Asked Questions Does Ease offer device management and SSO like Rippling? No. Ease does not provision laptops or manage SaaS access. For clinical practices that need device management, we recommend pairing Ease with a healthcare-focused IT vendor or a small MDM tool. Does Ease support global payroll? No. Ease is U.S.-only across all 50 states. If you hire internationally, Rippling is better positioned today. What if my practice has 100 or more employees? Ease serves practices and MSO networks of every size. The MSOs and Healthcare Agencies plan is built for higher headcount and multi-entity structures. Is Ease HIPAA-aware? Yes. Every module is built with PHI handling in mind. Ease provides Business Associate Agreements where appropriate.
