Stay on Rippling when their win still matches the job. Look at ficary when you want practice management and books on one platform. Nominative comparison — not a partnership and not a client story.
Choose Rippling when you need HR, devices, benefits, global payroll, or employer-of-record — jobs ficary refuses.
Payroll filings, benefits, devices, identity, and spend that follow the employee. If the people system is the job, they already sell that.
Choose ficary when the month will not close, or when a pay run has to land as a journal on the same books as bills and WIP.
The books. A pay run that never hit this journal is still a leftover. Time and costing live here. Filings stay with the payroll provider.
Isolation and private inference: Protected SKU. Category page without vendor keywords as the only strategy: practice management software. All comparisons.
Practice + books
Early access is a conversation on a live leftover. Invited testers still sign in. The public site does not open unattended firm signup.
