Rippling runs your back office. Untether runs your clinical workforce.
Comparison
Rippling runs your back office. Untether runs your clinical workforce.
Rippling is a modern, fast-growing platform that unifies HR, payroll, IT, and spend management. Its workforce management includes a drag-and-drop scheduler, time and attendance, and strong compliance automation across 600+ integrations.
Excellent and horizontal
Rippling is genuinely good software, but it's built for general businesses. It has no clinical license- or credential-aware scheduling, on-call logic, or patient-demand forecasting.
Healthcare-specific AI
Untether models the clinical workforce natively and uses AI to auto-build schedules to patient SLAs and provider preferences — then executes time off, on-call, and reporting end to end.
Keep Rippling, add clinical depth
Untether integrates with your HRIS and payroll, so you can keep horizontal tools and add the clinical scheduling layer they don't provide.
FAQ
Is Untether an alternative to Rippling?
For clinical workforce scheduling, yes. Untether handles licenses, credentials, on-call, and patient-demand forecasting that Rippling's general scheduler doesn't model.
Does Untether replace Rippling's HR and payroll?
No. Untether integrates with your HRIS and payroll as systems of record and runs clinical scheduling and operations on top.
Why not just use Rippling's scheduler?
Rippling's drag-and-drop scheduler suits general shift work. Clinical teams need license- and credential-aware AI scheduling and demand forecasting — what Untether is built for.
