How much does Rippling cost?
Rippling sets its price by quote. Rippling's own pricing page, read in September 2026, sells each product on top of a required core platform. Each product is billed per employee per month, and some may carry a monthly base fee. PeopleMuster publishes one number instead: $3 per person per month, every module included.
A Rippling bill is built from parts. The core platform comes first, and Rippling's pricing page calls it required. Each product you add on top carries its own fee per employee per month, across the HR, IT and finance products Rippling sells.
Then there's the base fee. Rippling's page says some products may be charged at, or include, a monthly basis fee. So three things move your bill: your headcount, the number of products you pick, and any flat monthly amount under them.
That's why the Rippling figures you find online disagree. Each one describes somebody else's bundle, at somebody else's headcount. Rippling's site gives no public number to check them against, so the only figure that counts is the quote made out to you.
When that quote arrives, split it into lines before you compare it. Write down the core platform fee. Add the fee for each product, per employee, and any monthly base fee. Multiply the per-employee lines by your headcount and by twelve. Now you have a yearly cost to set beside a published price.
PeopleMuster fits on one line of that sheet. The price is $3 per person per month from the first person. There's no platform fee, no base fee, no setup fee and no seat minimum. Annual billing is $30 per person per year, which is two months free.
Every module sits inside that $3. Attendance, leave, shifts and holidays. Timesheets, utilisation reports, the capacity plan, projects and clients. Devices, SOPs, policies and the internal helpdesk. Adding a person adds $3; adding a module adds nothing.
You can check the number before any call. Every new customer gets 14 days free with no card, then monthly billing you can cancel any time.
