AirMason

AirMason is a digital handbook and HR-document platform for teams that need to create, distribute, and maintain employee policies. It is best suited to HR departments that want acknowledgments, policy-based employee answers, and HR-system connections alongside handbook creation. Its appeal is the breadth of that workflow; its chief caveat is that automatic policy-update publishing currently covers US updates only.

Overview

AirMason brings handbook production and upkeep into one service: HR can prepare documents, distribute them, collect signatures, track revisions, and export acknowledgment reports. AirAssist answers employee questions using company policies and HRIS profile context, with access restricted to documents each employee is permitted to view. That combination is useful when HR wants employees to find answers without opening up sensitive or role-restricted material.

The compliance service monitors employment law in the US, Canada, and UK, maps changes to handbook text, and has attorneys review proposed edits. The important distinction is that automatic application and publishing are currently limited to US updates. Organizations relying on Canadian or UK coverage should expect a human review and publishing step rather than treating AirMason as a fully automated update pipeline.

Key features

Handbook creation and branding

The builder recommends expert-curated policy templates based on company details and provides a live editor for customization. Its AI branding tool extracts a company's colors, fonts, and logo from its website to style a handbook. This gives HR a starting structure and a branded presentation without requiring it to assemble every document from scratch; teams with highly specialized policies still need to review and tailor the content.

Updates, signatures, and employee access

AirMason combines version history with digital signatures, reminders, signature reports, and exports. Those tools help HR follow up on acknowledgments and preserve a record of which version employees have received. Automated policy updates add attorney-reviewed suggestions, but the US-only limit on automatic application and publishing matters for companies with Canadian or UK workforces.

AirAssist connects policy answers to HRIS profile context while respecting document permissions. That is a meaningful safeguard for organizations whose employees should not all see the same materials. The value depends on the company having its policies and access rules organized well enough for those answers to be useful.

Integrations, security, and onboarding

AirMason lists HRIS connections including Workday, BambooHR, ADP, UKG, and SharePoint, plus SAML SSO options including OneLogin, Okta, Google, and Auth0. It reports a 2024 SOC 2 Type II audit and encryption at rest and in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Its data processing terms place US customer data in US Google Cloud data centers and EU data in Brussels; Canadian data centers are available to customers requesting a single-tenant VPC.

Onboarding includes platform training and implementation support, with an integrations team to help configure HRIS and SSO. Hosted handbooks are mobile-optimized and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers, while the product itself runs on Android, iOS, and the web.

Pricing

AirMason is paid, has no free plan, and offers a free trial. The entry tiers provide unlimited digital handbooks, but several services that may matter most to a growing HR team—automated policy updates, creative services, and content migration—are add-ons.

PlanPrice and sizeWhat it suitsStartup$149 a month; billed $149 /mo if billed monthly; 1 to 99 employeesSmaller organizations that need unlimited digital handbooks and can handle add-ons separately.Small Business$199 a month; billed $199 /mo if billed monthly; 100 to 199 employeesOrganizations in the 100–199 employee range with the same handbook allowance and add-on structure.EnterpriseCustom pricing; billed Contact Us; 200+ employeesGlobal organizations seeking an enterprise-grade, custom-tailored arrangement.The Startup tier is capped at 99 employees, so a company crossing that threshold moves to the higher-priced Small Business plan. Small Business covers 100–199 employees; organizations at 200 or more need custom pricing. The listed starting price of $999/yr is not a substitute for these monthly plan terms. Because automated updates and content migration are add-ons on the first two plans, buyers should account for those costs if they are central to the purchase.

Platforms

AirMason supports Android, iOS, and web access. The hosted handbooks are designed for use on phones, tablets, and computers, which suits distributed workforces that need to consult policies away from a desktop.

Who it's for

AirMason fits HR teams at organizations from startups to global companies that want handbook creation, acknowledgments, version tracking, and employee policy answers under one roof. Its HRIS and SSO options make it particularly relevant where employee records and sign-in controls need to connect to existing systems. It is less compelling for organizations outside the US that expect policy changes to be automatically applied and published, or for smaller teams seeking a free plan.

Pros and cons

Pros: Unlimited digital handbooks on both priced tiers give HR room to manage multiple documents without a handbook-count ceiling.

Pros: Signatures, reminders, version tracking, reports, and exports support acknowledgment follow-up and recordkeeping.

Pros: AirAssist uses HRIS context while limiting answers to documents an employee is allowed to view.

Pros: Listed HRIS and SSO integrations, onboarding support, and mobile-optimized handbooks address deployment and employee access needs.

Cons: Startup stops at 99 employees, and the next tier costs more and applies to organizations with 100–199 employees.

Cons: Automated policy updates, creative services, and content migration are add-ons on the two priced plans.

Cons: Automatic policy-update application and publishing currently cover US updates only, leaving Canadian and UK organizations with more manual work.

Cons: There is no free plan, and Enterprise requires custom pricing.

Traliant is a paid alternative with a $3.99 per learner / annually Plus plan that includes HRIS integrations, analytics, legal support, a course customizer, classroom mode, and API access. Consider it when that learner-priced offering and its training-oriented features better match the need than AirMason's handbook tiers.

Peerfold offers web and API access, a free trial, and an organization-seats add-on at $99/mo on Starter and Professional, included with Enterprise. It may suit buyers who specifically need organization seats and a customer admin portal.

BLR HR Hero is a web-based paid alternative with a one-year subscription for internal organizational use by one user; additional users, states, or external use require custom pricing. Consider it when that narrower subscription arrangement fits.

ComplianceHR offers paid web and API access, with Navigator IC/OT priced per use and its Reference Center, Document Center, and Policy Center priced per user with volume discounts. It may fit organizations that prefer those usage- or user-based pricing models.

Emtrain is a paid alternative with no free trial and learner-based annual plans, including a Basic plan at $50 a year with a 100-user minimum. It may suit organizations evaluating learner-priced compliance offerings, rather than handbook administration.

Drevium has a web-based Starter plan at $6 a month for up to 25 users, with a core compliance library, email support, basic analytics, and certificates. Consider it when a small-user compliance plan and those inclusions are a closer fit.

Rulewize is a web-based paid alternative with a Starter plan at $29 a month, covering one state, up to three SOPs, three offer letter documents, and one handbook regeneration per month. Its stated limits may suit teams seeking a narrower, defined monthly scope.

Verdict

Choose AirMason if your HR team wants to create and distribute branded handbooks, track acknowledgments, and connect policy answers to employee context and access permissions. Its strongest case is consolidating those handbook workflows with HRIS and SSO options. Look elsewhere if you need a free tier, cannot budget for add-ons, or require policy updates to be automatically published for Canadian or UK operations.
