Atlas HXM vs Rippling

Atlas HXM provides services for hiring, managing, paying, and supporting employees and contractors across borders.

Atlas says it has fully owned and operated legal entities in more than 160 countries. Employees can access more than 9,000 courses, professional certificates, and degrees. Visa sponsorship and global mobility services are available in more than 75 countries as an EOR add-on. Atlas Connect provides REST API endpoints for starting onboarding and updating employee details; access requires an Atlas account and API key. EOR starts at $599 per employee per month, while AOR costs $199 per month, billed monthly. The service runs on web, Android, iOS, and API.
