AbsenceSoft vs LeavePro

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

AbsenceSoft

Sales-quoted

AbsenceSoft is leave and accommodation management software for US employers that run leave in-house, and for TPAs and PEOs. It is quote-only, with a custom pricing proposal after a demo and no trial. Its strengths are the Compliance Engine for 200+ laws and a well-documented public API.

Where AbsenceSoft fits

  • US employers with high leave and accommodation caseloads
  • HR teams moving FMLA and ADA work off spreadsheets
  • TPAs and PEOs administering leave for many employers
  • IT teams that want to integrate leave through a REST API

LeavePro

Sales-quoted

LeavePro is Alight enterprise software for tracking leaves, aimed at organizations over 2,000 employees. It lists FMLA, STD, LTD, ADA, state leaves, and workplace accommodations. The price is a quote.

Where LeavePro fits

  • US employers above 2,000 people with an internal leave team
  • Programs that want software now and outsourcing only for some case types
  • Workday customers that can use the LeavePro integration
  • Teams tracking ADA accommodations next to statutory leave

Where they pull apart

AbsenceSoft

Stands out: The AbsenceSoft Compliance Engine tracks 200+ federal and state leave and accommodation laws and stacks concurrent leaves, and the Payroll Calculations module applies state paid leave offsets per pay period. The API is publicly documented in OpenAPI 3.1 at absencesoft.stoplight.io, with Employee, Case, Employer and Communications APIs and webhooks.

Watch out: There is no public price, and custom outbound file feeds and API build work cost extra. Payroll Calculations produces estimates and export files, not payments, so payroll still runs in your own system.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies outside the US, since the engine covers US federal and state law
  • Small businesses that only need PTO tracking

LeavePro

Stands out: Employers can run it themselves or co source, and Alight says both paths are tracked in LeavePro. A 2025 Worklife release describes an API integration between LeavePro and Workday.

Watch out: ReedGroup, the absence business behind LeavePro, has been part of Alight since 6 December 2022. The page is written for large US employers, and there is no public price.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers under 2,000 people looking for a simple tracker
  • Companies outside the United States

Pros and cons

  • Workday is a named integration, plus Alight Worklife
  • No public price
  • Sized for organizations over 2,000 employees
  • US focused, not a global statutory leave product

What each one costs

AbsenceSoft

Sales-quoted

AbsenceSoft does not publish prices. After a demo request, its team builds a custom pricing proposal for each employer, TPA or PEO. The Payroll Calculations module is a separate module, and custom outbound file feeds and API development help are extra-cost professional services. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
