FINEOS Absence for Employers vs Tilt

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

Starting price

FINEOS Absence for Employers is cloud software for large US employers that manage disability, statutory leave, and accommodations in house. The vendor says it does not cover PTO or accrued paid sick leave, and it is not sold outside the US yet. Pricing is a quote.

Where FINEOS Absence for Employers fits

  • Large US employers that self administer leave and disability
  • Teams that want accommodations in the same system as the leave
  • Programs that explicitly do not want PTO mixed into the absence system
  • Employers that can run a cloud deployment on the vendor AWS setup

Tilt

$2.50/employee/mo

Tilt sells US leave software at $2.50 per employee per month for Essentials and $3.50 for Professional. Platform Only leaves decisions with the employer. Premium Support adds Tilt specialists.

Where Tilt fits

  • US employers that want HR to run FMLA, ADA, and state paid leave in house
  • Teams that want payroll facing leave math on the Professional plan
  • Companies already on Rippling, BambooHR, Workday, Paycor, or Paylocity
  • Programs that may add a specialist later instead of outsourcing every case

Where they pull apart

FINEOS Absence for Employers

Stands out: Employers can buy absence only, or absence with disability, or absence with disability and accommodations. The March 2024 launch named a convenience chain of more than 30,000 employees and an insurer employer of more than 41,000 employees.

Watch out: FINEOS also sells claims software to insurers. This employer product is a separate offer, but buyers should confirm they are not being sold a carrier implementation. There is no public price.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers outside the United States
  • Companies that only need a PTO or sick balance tracker

Tilt

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers outside the United States
  • A buyer who wants a fully outsourced administrator and no internal leave work
