Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 22 of the 101 other HR software we grade
Ease is a benefits administration system built for insurance brokers and the small employers they serve. It handles online enrollment, rate quoting, census downloads, carrier connections, digital employee records and add-on HR tools such as time off, onboarding and ACA reporting. Brokers subscribe at one of three levels, set by employee and agency-user counts, and employers are told to contact their broker. The site states that Ease is now owned by Employee Navigator.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Ease, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Brokers buy by demo request with no price shown, and add-ons cost extra per employee.

The report card
Best for benefits enrollment for brokers and their clients
Ease is benefits administration software for insurance brokers, with online enrollment, quoting, carrier connections and HR add-ons, now owned by Employee Navigator. Brokers buy by demo request with no price shown, and add-ons cost extra per employee.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No subscription price is shown. HR add-ons are $1 a month per employee for brokers or $2 for employers, and ACA is $6 per form a year. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial; brokers book a demo. |
| Features | C | Enrollment, quoting, census downloads, carrier connections, HR add-ons and ACA reporting. Single sign-on and custom reports are Enterprise only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A broker sets it up for employers. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with ADP, Paycor, Paylocity and Heartland payroll links. No phone or desktop app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Ease is for
- Fits if you're an insurance broker enrolling small employers in benefits
- Works for employers whose broker already uses it
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you're an employer without a broker, since it's sold to brokers
- Not for you if you want a price on the page
- Pricey if you want HR add-ons, at $1 to $2 per employee a month on top
- Watch out: Pro covers up to 2,000 employees and 3 agency users, with SSO only on Enterprise
Good to know
Good for
- Insurance brokers that manage small-group benefits for many clients
- Employers whose broker already runs benefits enrollment on Ease
- Brokers who want a flat tier price rather than a per-employee fee
Worth knowing
- No subscription prices are published: three levels (Pro, Agency, Enterprise) are bought by brokers through a demo request.
- Pro covers up to 2,000 employees and 3 agency users, Agency has 6 agency users and Enterprise 10; single sign-on and custom reports are Enterprise only.
- HR add-ons are priced separately: $1 per employee per month for brokers to enable and $2 for employers, and ACA compliance is $6 per employee per form per year.
- Payroll integrations typically cost $0 to $1.50 per employee per month with partner-specific fees, and the site says Ease is now owned by Employee Navigator.

What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Ease's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No free plan or trial; brokers book a demo.
We could not confirm Ease’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. ease.com has them.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
22/101
Other HR software it is graded above
Ease's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 22 of the 101 other HR software we grade, and level with 33.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 34 of 101) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 102 HR software we grade, cut by the letter each got. Ease’s own letter is outlined.

- CEase of useAbove 1 of 101
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 34 of 101
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Ease you could make: employee records, time off and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 101 other HR software grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, ADP Workforce Now, Heartland and Paycor among them.
What this rests on. Ease’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
