Rippling pricing 2026
This page covers Rippling's published prices, free plan limits and the catches, using StackScope's payroll and hr software report, last verified October 2026.
Rippling has no permanent free plan, only a trial or promotion. Its live pricing page does not publish a self-serve payroll price and routes full configurations to a custom quote, and there is no named mid tier because modules such as benefits, time tracking and IT are priced separately. Rippling's own 2026 payroll and HRIS content cites reference figures of $35 per month plus $8 per employee per month, and Expense Management at $14 per employee per month as one module example, but StackScope does not extrapolate these into a posted price. Sources also conflict on whether Rippling offers a free trial: G2 says it does not, while Capterra labels it as having one. The main catch is that modular add-ons can raise cost and the breadth of features can create a learning curve.
| Tool | Free plan | Entry tier | Mid tier | Top tier / public price | Aggregated sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rippling | No permanent free plan — trial/promotion only. [VENDOR] Current pricing page routes to custom quote for full configurations. G2 currently says Rippling does not offer a free trial, while Capterra currently labels it as having one — a direct source conflict, not resolved here. [3P — G2 vs Capterra] | Quote required for Payroll[VENDOR] Rippling's live pricing page still does not publish a self-serve Payroll price. Rippling's own 2026 Payroll/HRIS content separately publishes reference figures — $35/mo base + $8/employee/mo — but these are not shown as a checkout/self-serve list price on the current pricing page; see footnote below the table. | Modular — no named mid tier[VENDOR] Additional modules (benefits, time tracking, IT) are priced separately; module-level rate card is not fully public. Rippling's own 2026 content cites Expense Management at $14/employee/mo as one example — not extrapolated into a universal bundle price. | No public top-tier price[VENDOR] Full multi-module configurations route to custom quote | Catch: [3P — G2 + Capterra] Modular add-ons can raise cost and the breadth of features can create a learning curve. Review sentiment from G2 and Capterra; praise centers on unified HR/payroll, automation and intuitive workflows. Capacity: [VENDOR] Supports multi-state U.S. payroll and employee/contractor payroll; no public numeric cap found in current vendor documentation. AI: Current platform markets "Ask Rippling AI" across all data plus automation/custom dashboards; this is bundled platform functionality under the same quote-based packaging, not a separately priced payroll AI add-on.
