Bottom line
Employee Navigator is broker-channel benefits enrollment and HR software. It acquired Ease in April 2023 and is sunsetting Ease in 2027. Pricing is quoted across Enhanced, Enhanced Plus, Elite, and Platinum.
Stands out for: Unlimited companies and employees on every listed plan. AI Plan Builds sit on Enhanced. 834 EDI is $0.45 PEPM on Enhanced Plus and Elite, and $0 PEPM on Platinum.
Watch out for: Sold through insurance brokers, not a self-serve employer checkout. Ease stays read-only from 1 July 2027, so Ease brokers need a migration plan. 834 EDI is not free until Platinum.
