Modular
Rippling makes you buy the whole suite. Deel pushes you into contractors-only. Pulse lets you adopt Money, People or Work independently — each goes deep enough to replace a standalone tool, and they share one profile, one search, one audit log, one API.
Multi-country payroll, expenses, invoicing, cost centers, P&L per commessa. Close the month in an afternoon instead of a week.
Roll out Money first if you're drowning in spreadsheets at month-end.
Inside money
One profile per teammate. Org chart, documents, e-signatures, onboarding workflows, recruiting kanban, offboarding, org pulse.
Roll out People first if onboarding is stuck in Google Docs and Gmail.
Inside people
Clock in, track against commesse (project codes, the finance way), run saturation and forecast analyses on top. Focus Mode auto-declines meetings.
Roll out Work first if you bill by the hour and can't answer "is this project profitable?".
Inside work
Each module has its own routes, its own permissions, its own API scope. If you pay for People only, People is all you see — no ghost payroll menus, no greyed-out finance tabs, no upsell banners.
Swap a module out whenever you want. Export anything via the API, close the module, point your webhooks at the new vendor. No data hostage, no migration fees, no "book a call with our retention team".
And because Money, People and Work share the same data model, adding a second module later takes minutes — employees, commesse, org chart are already there.
Free for the first 5 employees — forever. No credit card. Import your data in under an hour.
