Use the public information below to prepare questions about fees, employee help and the work your own team would still need to do. At a glance Method **Public sources** Reviewed **Sep 11, 2026** Overall winner **Not established** By [ICHRA Report](https://ichrareport.com/about/) · Published September 12, 2026 · Updated September 25, 2026 Public-source comparison · Reviewed September 11, 2026 Compare the scope of help you need before comparing administration fees. These providers both describe ICHRA administration, but their public pages are not a substitute for two proposals covering the same workforce and services. ## Start with the product you are buying Take Command describes HRA administration, plan design and employee enrollment support. PeopleKeep describes digital HRA administration and publishes a starting ICHRA price. These are provider descriptions, not findings from hands-on testing or an independently measured service comparison. Use the [Take Command profile](https://ichrareport.com/providers/take-command/) and [PeopleKeep profile](https://ichrareport.com/providers/peoplekeep/) to orient the discussion. An employer should still ask which product, service package and contract each proposal describes. Do not assume that the presence of the same feature name means the same service depth. ## Make the prices comparable PeopleKeep's reviewed page lists starting ICHRA pricing of $25 per employee per month plus a $50 base fee, no charge for opted-out employees, and a three-seat minimum. Confirm administrator-seat charges and all other billing terms in the quote. The starting price is an input, not a complete annual cost estimate. Take Command's current public page lists starting HRA administration fees of $25+ per employee per month plus a $40+ monthly platform fee for 1–49 employees. The 50+ package has custom per-person pricing and a $100+ platform fee. PeopleKeep lists an ICHRA starting rate of $25 per employee per month plus a $50 base, with a three-seat minimum and administrator-seat charges. These are different packages and billable populations, not like-for-like final prices. Ask both companies for a written quote using the same census and service scope. {{cite:TC-PRICE-CURRENT,PK-PRICE}} Give both companies the same eligible and expected participating counts, plan year, payroll system and required support. Separate base fees, billed population, minimums, implementation, integrations, employee guidance, payment services, broker compensation and renewal changes. Include the employer contribution separately from administration cost. ## Ask both providers the same operational questions - Who helps employees compare local coverage, check networks and complete enrollment? - What happens after enrollment when an employee has a coverage or payment problem? - Does our payroll connection exchange the fields we need, and who fixes exceptions? - Which notices, documents and reporting services are included, and who owns review? - What implementation tasks remain with the employer or broker? - Can the quoted service be demonstrated and supported by relevant customer references? ## Choose on documented requirements If price visibility is your first concern, PeopleKeep offers a public starting point to investigate. If enrollment support is central, compare each provider's actual service commitments. Neither observation establishes an overall winner. A lower fee may cover less work; a broader package may include services the employer does not need. Build an [evaluation brief](https://ichrareport.com/tools/ichra-readiness/), take its worksheet to both providers, and record unresolved conditions before signing. Keep the current benefit arrangement in the comparison until employee impact, operating responsibilities and total cost have been examined. ## Sources and evidence [1 Take Command — Take Command HRA administration Provider-published overview stating support for enrollment, compliance, and employees and use by more than 8,000 organizations.
