Why people look past Stiira

The subscription fee is quoted, so budget it from a demo on top of the implementation fee. No HRIS product names are listed.

What we noted

The subscription price is quoted
No named HRIS connectors
Sold by demo, with implementation of about 5 to 6 weeks

Not the right fit for

Employers outside the United States
A buyer who needs a published per employee price before implementation

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

What each one does differently

Tilt

$2.50/employee/mo

Why it comes up: Tilt publishes pricing from $2.50 per employee a month and names HRIS connections.

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.

Best for

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

J. J. Keller Leave Manager

Sales-quoted Free trial

Why it comes up: J. J. Keller Leave Manager lets employers start free and includes expert help.

Stands out: The vendor pairs the tracker with expert help and says a response comes within one business day. A reference hub compares state and federal requirements inside the product.

Watch out: The free start is not a published paid rate. HRIS integration is claimed without a list of system names. Coverage described is United States leave, including USERRA and state paid and unpaid leave.

Best for

US employers that track FMLA and ADA in house and want a specialist on call
Teams moving off spreadsheets for intermittent leave hours
Companies that want state leave content next to the case file

Pulpstream

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Pulpstream adds an AI recommendation engine and named HRIS connectors.

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.

Best for

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

AbsenceSoft

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.

Best for

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
