Rippling IT Cloud
Pricing & Features

The only platform that unifies HR and IT management. Device Management at $8/device/month, App Management at $8/employee/month, and Identity & Access at custom pricing.

3 modules

IT Cloud Modules

Each module is purchased independently. All require Core HR ($8/ee/mo).

Device Management

Full MDM and device lifecycle management

$8/device/mo

Everything Included

  • Zero-touch deployment: ship a laptop to a new hire, it configures itself on first boot with all required apps, settings, and security policies
  • Full MDM for macOS, Windows, and Linux devices including remote lock, wipe, and restart
  • Automated software deployment and patch management across the fleet
  • Hardware inventory tracking with device specs, warranty status, and assigned user
  • Security policy enforcement: disk encryption, screen lock, OS version requirements, firewall rules
  • Offboarding automation: when an employee is terminated in HR, their device is automatically locked and queued for return or wipe

How It Saves Money

Replaces Jamf or Kandji

Jamf costs $8.33/device/mo. Kandji costs $6.50/device/mo. Rippling matches the price while adding HR integration that neither competitor offers.

Eliminates manual IT provisioning

Without Rippling, IT spends 2-4 hours setting up each new hire’s laptop. With zero-touch deployment, that drops to minutes. For a company hiring 5 people/month, that saves 10-20 hours of IT time.

Instant offboarding security

HR terminates the employee; the device is locked within seconds. No waiting for IT tickets. No risk of data exfiltration during the notice period.

App Management

SSO, app provisioning, and SaaS spend control

$8/ee/mo

Everything Included

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) for all connected SaaS applications with one click from the Rippling dashboard
  • Automated app provisioning: when a new hire starts, they automatically get access to the right apps based on role, department, and location
  • Automated deprovisioning: when someone is terminated, all app access is revoked instantly (not hours or days later)
  • SaaS spend tracking: see every app, who has access, who is actually using it, and what it costs
  • Shadow IT detection: discover apps employees are signing up for outside official channels
  • App request catalogue: employees can request access to apps through a self-service portal with approval workflows

How It Saves Money

Replaces Okta or OneLogin

Okta SSO costs $2-8/user/mo. OneLogin costs $4/user/mo. Rippling at $8/ee/mo is pricier on a per-user basis but includes provisioning, SaaS tracking, and HR integration that SSO-only tools lack.

Recovers unused SaaS licences

The average company wastes 25-30% of SaaS spend on unused licences. For a 100-person company spending $500/ee/year on SaaS, that is $12,500-$15,000 in recoverable spend.

Eliminates offboarding security gaps

IT teams report that manual deprovisioning takes 7+ hours per departing employee across all apps. Rippling does it instantly, reducing both security risk and IT workload.

Identity & Access Management

MFA, passwordless auth, zero-trust policies

Custom pricing

Everything Included

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement across all connected apps and devices
  • Passwordless authentication with biometric and security key support
  • Cloud directory with SCIM provisioning to downstream systems
  • Zero-trust access policies: require managed devices, check location, verify device health
  • Conditional access rules that adapt based on risk signals (new device, unusual location, off-hours access)
  • Comprehensive session management and security audit logging for compliance

Who Needs This

Companies pursuing SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 certification. Organisations with strict security requirements that go beyond basic SSO. Typically purchased alongside App Management for a complete identity solution.

Real-world scenarios

When Rippling IT Cloud Makes Sense

Remote-First Tech Company

50-200 employees

The Problem

IT team spends 4+ hours per new hire shipping, configuring, and provisioning laptops and apps. Offboarding is a manual checklist across 15+ SaaS tools.

Rippling Solution

Rippling Device Management + App Management automates the entire lifecycle. New hire gets a laptop shipped to their home that self-configures on first boot. All apps provisioned based on role. On termination, one click revokes everything.

Cost

Core HR ($8) + Device Mgmt ($8) + App Mgmt ($8) = $24/ee/mo

Estimated Savings

Replaces Jamf ($8.33/device) + Okta ($5/user) = $13.33/ee/mo in tool consolidation, plus 15-20 hours/month IT time saved.

Scaling SaaS Startup

25-75 employees

The Problem

Using Google Workspace for SSO but no real provisioning automation. Shadow IT is rampant. Nobody knows how many Notion, Figma, and Slack licences are actually being used.

Rippling Solution

Rippling App Management provides SSO, automated provisioning/deprovisioning, and SaaS spend visibility. IT can see every app, who uses it, and reclaim unused licences.

Cost

Core HR ($8) + App Mgmt ($8) = $16/ee/mo

Estimated Savings

Typical SaaS waste recovery: $100-200/ee/year. For 50 employees, that is $5,000-$10,000/year in recovered licences alone.

Compliance-Driven Organisation

100-500 employees

The Problem

Pursuing SOC 2 certification. Auditor requires MFA enforcement, access reviews, and device security policies across the entire organisation.

Rippling Solution

Full IT Cloud (Device + App + Identity) provides MFA enforcement, zero-trust policies, device compliance checks, and comprehensive audit logs that satisfy SOC 2 requirements.

Cost

Core HR ($8) + Device ($8) + App ($8) + Identity (custom) = ~$30-35/ee/mo

Estimated Savings

Replaces a patchwork of Jamf + Okta + Duo + manual compliance tracking. Consolidation savings plus faster audit completion.

Hybrid Office Setup

75-300 employees

The Problem

Mix of office and remote employees. Some use company devices, others BYOD. Need consistent security policies regardless of location or device ownership.

Rippling Solution

Device Management enforces security policies on company devices. App Management handles SSO and access control for all employees. Identity enables conditional access (different policies for managed vs unmanaged devices).

Cost

Varies by device count. Device Mgmt only for company-owned devices; App Mgmt for all employees.

Estimated Savings

Flexible pricing: only pay per-device for managed hardware. Per-employee for app management covers everyone including BYOD users.

Why Rippling IT Cloud Is Unique

No other platform combines HR and IT management. Here is why that matters.

1

HR events trigger IT actions automatically

When HR hires someone, IT provisioning starts instantly. When HR terminates someone, IT access is revoked. When HR changes someone's department, their app access updates. This bidirectional HR-IT sync does not exist in any standalone IT tool.

2

One employee record powers everything

In a typical stack, the employee exists in BambooHR, Jamf, Okta, and Google Workspace separately. Changes must be synced across all four. In Rippling, there is one record. Change it once, and every connected system updates.

3

Custom workflows span HR and IT boundaries

Example: when an employee is promoted to manager, automatically grant them access to the team budget spreadsheet, enrol them in leadership training, update their Slack channels, and upgrade their laptop. No other tool can orchestrate this across HR and IT in a single workflow.

4

Security posture tied to employment status

Rippling can enforce policies like: only employees with active employment status can access company resources. Contractors on notice period get read-only access. Employees in their last week lose access to sensitive systems. This employment-aware security is impossible without HR integration.

IT Cloud FAQ

How much does Rippling IT Cloud cost?
Rippling IT Cloud has three modules. Device Management costs $8 per device per month. App Management costs $8 per employee per month. Identity & Access Management is custom-priced. All require Core HR ($8/ee/mo) as the foundation.
What makes Rippling IT management unique?
Rippling is the only platform that unifies HR and IT management. When you hire someone in Rippling, their laptop is shipped, apps are provisioned, and access is configured automatically. When someone leaves, everything is revoked and the device is wiped in one action. No other IT management tool has this level of HR integration.
Can I use Rippling IT Cloud without HR modules?
No. Core HR ($8/ee/mo) is required for all Rippling customers, including those who only want IT management. Your minimum cost for IT Cloud is Core HR + the IT module(s) you need.
Does Rippling replace Jamf for Mac management?
For most mid-size companies, yes. Rippling's Device Management includes MDM, zero-touch deployment, app installation, security policies, and remote wipe. Companies with complex Apple-specific needs (large fleets, custom profiles) may still prefer Jamf's deeper Apple ecosystem integration.
Does Rippling replace Okta for SSO?
For basic SSO and app provisioning, Rippling's App Management module is a viable Okta replacement. For enterprises needing advanced identity features (complex conditional access, extensive SCIM integrations, custom SAML configurations), Okta remains more capable. Many companies use both: Rippling for HR-integrated provisioning and Okta for advanced identity.
