Already paying for policy acknowledgment? Here's how to tell.
Many companies already get policy acknowledgment bundled into their HR or payroll platform. Here's how to tell if you're one — and what to do if you're not.
Most "policy acknowledgment" demand is already served
Before you buy anything, it's worth checking what you already pay for. A large share of companies already get policy acknowledgment, e-signature, and audit trails bundled into the HR, payroll, or PEO platform they're on. What's left after the filter is much narrower than the headline market suggests.

On Rippling, BambooHR Pro, Justworks, or a PEO? Those bundle policy acknowledgment — Accedo isn't aimed at you.
On Gusto Simple, ADP RUN, Paychex without HR Admin, or no HRIS? Accedo is built for you — read on.
If you don't have it, Accedo is the cheap, focused option
$500/yr / 200 users = $2.50/user/year, Accedo is 48–192× cheaper than every comparable adjacent tool (BambooHR Core $120/user/yr, Trainual $62/user/yr, Vanta median $200/user/yr, DocuSign Business Pro $480/user/yr).
The adjacent options that do cover acknowledgment cost far more or arrive bundled with scope you don't need: an HRIS upgrade runs $5–$15/employee/mo, and full-suite SOC 2 automation platforms start at $7,500+/yr. Accedo does one thing — publish policies, collect acknowledgments, keep an audit trail — without the platform tax.
No HR platform to rip out, no annual contract, no per-seat surprises. If your team needs auditable policy acknowledgment and you're not already paying for it, Accedo covers it for a flat, predictable price.
