Gusto vs Rippling

Gusto's onboarding checklist sends I-9, W-4, direct deposit, and benefits enrollment forms to new hires before their start date, so day one is spent working rather than filling out paperwork.

Gusto's benefits advisor surfaces side-by-side health plan comparisons for employees during open enrollment, reducing HR time spent answering benefits questions by giving employees self-serve plan selection tools.

Rippling MDM locks, wipes, or deprovisions devices automatically when an employee terminates, without IT manually coordinating with HR to learn about separations.

Rippling Global Payroll handles multi-currency payroll, local tax compliance, and pension contributions across 50+ countries from a single system, without requiring a local HR entity for each country.
