Pulpstream vs Stiira

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

Starting price

Pulpstream

Sales-quoted

Pulpstream automates US leave workflows for FMLA, ADA and more than 13 state paid leave programs, and says the 2026 Minnesota and Delaware program changes reached customers automatically. Pricing is a demo quote.

Where Pulpstream fits

  • US employers from a few hundred people to very large workforces that run leave in house
  • Teams that need intermittent hour tracking and designation letters
  • HRIS customers on Workday, UKG, ADP, Dayforce, or Paylocity
  • Programs that want state paid leave rule updates maintained in the software

Stiira

$995/mo

Stiira is leave software for employers that run FMLA, ADA and state PFML in house, including concurrent federal and state leave. Employer plans start at $995 a month for up to 500 employees, billed annually, and implementation starts at $1,995.

Where Stiira fits

  • US HR teams that want to administer leave themselves
  • Employers tracking continuous, intermittent, and reduced schedules
  • Programs that move from FMLA into an ADA leave when job protection ends
  • Third party administrators that want software rather than building a case system

Where they pull apart

Pulpstream

Stands out: An AI recommendation engine suggests leave decisions from regulations and company policy, and intermittent leave is tracked in hours. The leave page shows logos for Workday, UKG, ADP, Dayforce, and others.

Watch out: Pulpstream is also a risk and case workflow platform, so leave is the lead offer on the leave page but not the only module. There is no public price.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers outside the United States
  • A buyer who wants a fully outsourced leave administrator instead of software

Stiira

Stands out: The same company sells a separate edition to third party administrators, with implementation starting at $2,995. The employer page says implementation typically takes 5 to 6 weeks and that employee self service is included.

Watch out: The subscription runs from $995 a month billed annually, on top of a one time implementation fee from $1,995, so it suits programs with real leave volume. No HRIS product names are listed.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers outside the United States
  • Small employers that want a low per employee price
