Pricing. BambooHR publishes Core at $10.25, Pro at $17.50 and Elite at $25 per employee per month, with flat monthly rates at 25 or fewer. Rippling publishes no prices and requires a custom quote.
Capabilities. Rippling lists HR, IT, finance, payroll, global, and custom-app modules; BambooHR is HR-first, with payroll, benefits, and time as add-ons. Rippling wins on breadth of scope, though we could not confirm its individual payroll features.
Integrations. Rippling lists 650+ integrations and an App Shop; BambooHR lists 150+. Both have a REST API. BambooHR documents webhooks; Rippling mentions webhooks only as triggers for its automations, not as an API feature.
Security. BambooHR documents SOC 2 Type 2 and SAML sign-on. Rippling lists SSO, SCIM, and ISO 27001, but we could not find a SOC 2 Type 2 statement on its public pages.
Fit and support. BambooHR offers a free trial, monthly terms, and phone support. Rippling's quote form spans 1-10 to 1,001+ employees; it does not publish trial terms or support channels.
We cannot say. Rippling publishes no prices; it sends a custom quote. BambooHR lists Core from $10.25 per employee per month, or $250 flat for 25 or fewer employees, with payroll and benefits add-ons unpriced. Compare a Rippling quote against BambooHR's tier plus the add-ons you need.
BambooHR's published price, free trial and monthly terms make it easier to evaluate, and its flat $250 Core rate covers 25 or fewer employees. Rippling's quote form accepts companies from 1-10 employees upward, but pricing is not public. Pick Rippling if you also need IT and finance tools.
Neither vendor publishes migration guidance. BambooHR offers month-to-month terms, so leaving is not tied to a long contract. Both have REST APIs that can export employee data. Ask Rippling about its implementation process, timeline, and any setup fees, none of which it publishes.
Rippling unifies HR, payroll, IT, and finance apps on one system and prices by quote. BambooHR focuses on HR, with performance and compensation management on higher tiers and payroll, benefits, and time as add-ons, at published prices. Rippling lists 650+ integrations; BambooHR lists 150+.
Yes. BambooHR includes a Bamboo AI assistant in all three plans, answering HR data questions on Core and adding policies and benchmark analysis on higher tiers. Rippling lists Rippling AI for questions across business data, AI dashboards, and employee self-service answers, with some automations on a waitlist.
