ExtensisHR vs Rippling

ExtensisHR is a CPEO that is certified, but not endorsed, by the IRS that provides comprehensive human resources services and solutions to employers. It was founded in 1997 with headquarters in Woodbridge, NJ, and Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and offices in four other states. ExtensisHR serves 19 industries throughout the US with their comprehensive PEO and HRO services, including HR guidance and support, payroll, tax administration, talent management and recruiting, employee benefits, and risk and compliance management. They also offer various HR technologies, including a mobile Work Anywhere cloud-based platform. The company boasts a long list of satisfied customers in small to medium-sized businesses, who appreciate the comprehensive nature of their services and their commitment to providing complete HR solutions. They offer three service options, or "solutions," on their website but do not share pricing. Prospective clients must submit a form to be contacted for a quote. They are certified by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC), whose accreditation is considered the gold standard for PEO reliability and financial assurance.

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.
