What we noted
Not the right fit for

Why it comes up: LeavePro is Alight's enterprise leave software, with co sourcing options on the same system.
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.

$2.50/employee/mo
Why it comes up: Tilt publishes pricing from $2.50 per employee a month for employers that do not need disability claims.
Stands out: AbsenceIQ is the vendor leave intelligence system, and Tilley is an AI phone assistant sold as a paid add on. Essentials lists all leave types and state PFML programs.
Watch out: Add ons change the headline price: integrations, premium support and the Tilley phone assistant are extra on Essentials, and adding premium support brings a $5,995 minimum contract. Coverage is US federal, state and company leave only.

Sales-quoted API
Why it comes up: AbsenceSoft covers 200+ leave and accommodation laws and publishes a REST API.
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.

Why it comes up: Sedgwick LeaveLink pairs in house leave software with ADALink for accommodations.
Stands out: LeaveLink is sold as SaaS separate from Sedgwick's outsourced absence book, including an employee and manager portal and premium tracking while someone is on leave.
Watch out: Sedgwick is also a large disability and leave administrator. Confirm the contract is the enterprise software edition, not a bundled claims service. No price is published.
