HOW PAYCOM RISES ABOVE RIPPLING

Make the winning choice. Choose Paycom.

Get your shortcut to smart work.

With Paycom, you don’t have to navigate software to find what you need. IWant™ is the industry’s first command-driven AI engine in a single database. It pulls data employees entered themselves to provide instant, accurate and reliable answers — all at your command.

While Rippling claims to use AI within its platform, the provider doesn’t offer clients a command-driven AI engine. This leaves employees, managers and executives to manually search for the workforce data they need.

Receive the agile and dedicated support you need.

Paycom assigns you a dedicated specialist as soon as you become a client. This specialist understands the unique needs of your business and exactly how Paycom supports them. No communication just by email or getting ghosted by your provider.

Rippling funnels its service requests through a single email inbox. Live support and AI chatbots are inconsistent, resulting in extended holds and random reps who don’t know your organization. This practice even leads to completely unanswered requests.

Track, measure and maximize employee usage.

Using Paycom’s Direct Data Exchange® tool, you receive a detailed pulse of how employees interact with our software on an easy-to-use dashboard. The tech automatically assigns a dollar value to your savings and reveals opportunities for even greater ROI.

Rippling offers no tool to track employee usage, so you have no way of knowing the exact ROI of its tech. You also don’t have an opportunity to see what areas of Rippling’s system employees aren’t using, leaving the true value of your tech investment unknown.

Experience full-solution automation built in.

Paycom’s truly single database was designed so all our tools work seamlessly together. We don’t use third-party integrations or acquire other providers to ensure unmatched automation and data integrity. And whenever we enhance a tool, it enhances the rest of our software.

Rippling only provides limited automation with its core product, requiring extra packages to receive more versatile performance. Plus, since Rippling uses third-party integration, it can’t guarantee accuracy or the consistent flow of data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how Paycom wins over Rippling

Paycom’s single software provides one location for all your HR and payroll data without requiring third-party integrations. This allows for full-solution automation of your processes and gives you instant access to your data with our command-driven AI engine, IWant. Being a Paycom client also comes with dedicated support from a single point of contact who understands your business’s unique needs.

Paycom allows employees to enter and manage their own data and access it instantly from our mobile app. It also features greater mobile functionality for managers with Manager on-the-Go®, which lets them tackle essential tasks like approvals anywhere, anytime. Rippling does not offer this functionality.

Paycom provides a user-friendly experience for employees at all levels. They’re able to enter, manage and access their own HR and payroll information whenever they need to. And with IWant, employees can access their data instantly and accurately without having to navigate the software.

From implementation to ongoing training and support, Paycom provides you with a single point of contact who understands you and your needs and knows our single software inside and out. Rippling, on the other hand, prefers email communication and is notorious for long hold times and being outright unresponsive.

Paycom’s single-database software puts all your tools in one place and unlocks full-solution automation. As a result, you’re never limited to a fixed number of automations, and we will never require additional software as your business grows. Meanwhile, Rippling requires additional “automation packages” to get more versatile functionality.

Our single-database software was built in-house and requires no third-party integrations to meet your needs. This ensures data integrity, accuracy and security.
