Stiira vs Tilt

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

Starting price

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

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

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

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
