Engage PEO vs Rippling

Engage PEO provides comprehensive HR outsourcing solutions to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across the US. It was established in 2011 by Jay Starkman and is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It is a CPEO as it is certified, but not endorsed, by the IRS and is also certified by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC). Their PEO services include payroll, tax administration, employee benefits, compliance, training, workers' compensation, risk management, integrated technology, and other HR services. In order to generate value for their shared clients, Engage PEO prioritizes collaborations with brokers and agents as part of its distinctive approach to HR delivery. The business has seen substantial expansion and achievement, such as being ranked the 127th fastest-growing private company in the nation in 2016 by Inc. Magazine. They do not share specific service plans or pricing on their website, so prospective clients have to submit a form to be contacted. 

Rippling is a relatively new PEO, established in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA. They provide a suite of HR and payroll services to businesses of all sizes and have grown to become one of the largest PEOs in the US, with over 1 million members. Rippling offers a variety of services, including payroll, benefits administration, HR management, expense management, recruiting, and compliance support. Rippling offers a flexible plan system. Clients have to purchase "Unity Platform" as a core product, to which they can add any number of their HR, finance, and IT products separately to form their unique plan. They do not share pricing for their products, but they may bill on a per-employee, per-month basis, or monthly base fee. Rippling's services, therefore, can be more expensive than some other PEOs. Overall, Rippling is a reliable and feature-rich PEO that can save businesses time and money. However, Rippling is a relatively new company and may not have the same level of experience as some other PEOs, or as robust a customer support system.
