Compare · Giv alternative

The Giv alternative that runs the whole agency.

Enmantle is one platform built inside a working Ohio IDD agency: scheduling, native Sandata EVV, ISP goals, incidents, billing and payroll under one login. Giv is a nationwide platform with published per-client pricing and its own set of connected hubs — here is how the two compare.

Last reviewed · Enmantle team

Enmantle is one Ohio-built platform covering scheduling, native Sandata EVV, ISP goals, incidents, eMBS billing, and payroll for IDD agencies. Where Giv prices its modules and add-ons separately by tier, Enmantle quotes one number per agency with every core module already included. Giv is a nationwide IDD and behavioral-health platform with published per-client pricing and a fast, phased onboarding.

Giv markets itself to IDD and behavioral-health service agencies nationwide — day programs, group homes, HCBS providers, and respite or host homes. Unusually among the vendors in this comparison, Giv publishes its pricing openly on its site rather than gating it behind a demo. Its founding year is not published on its site, so we do not state one here.

In Ohio, Giv appears on the state's certified alternate EVV vendor list under the name "Giv.Plus," and its Ohio-specific page confirms billing support for the Individual Options (IO), Level One, and Self-Empowered Life Funding (SELF) waivers that many DODD-funded agencies bill against.

Giv's clearest strength in this comparison is pricing transparency: its Essential Suite starts at $18 per active client per month with monthly billing available, per its pricing page, retrieved 2026-09-20 — a real, published number, which none of the other platforms in this comparison state publicly. Its Revenue Hub also automates Medicaid and waiver claim generation directly from logged services, and its switching page promises that staff can be managing shifts inside Giv within days of starting onboarding.

What Giv does well

Giv's pricing page is unusually specific for this category. The Essential Suite starts "at $18 per active client" per month and already includes unlimited users, an EHR, eMAR, scheduling, claims, and timesheets; the pricier Empower Suite adds one-click billing, payroll, and AI reporting, with named add-ons priced individually — pharmacy integration at $8 per client, one-click billing at $3 per active client, and payroll at $12 per staff member, per its pricing page, retrieved 2026-09-20. That level of published detail is rare among the vendors covered on this site.

Giv's day-to-day modules are genuinely connected. Reporting Hub lets staff log incident details in real time while the system generates reports automatically, organized by type, client, and staff, with supervisor verification alerts and exportable audit reports — though the page never uses the specific terms "UI" or "MUI" the way Ohio's own rule does. Client Hub condenses imported service plans into actionable plans for direct support professionals (DSPs) to follow, track, and report on, with outcome-driven charting across goals, medications, and incidents. Scheduling Hub supports one-to-one and one-to-many shift structures with recurring shifts, staffing-ratio visualization, and admin-approved "impromptu" pickup for unscheduled coverage.

On mobile and implementation, Giv's own page and its App Store listing (publisher "Giv.care, Inc.") confirm a native iOS app with GPS-verified clock-in, daily notes, and medication reminders. Its switching page states that "within days, your staff can begin managing shifts in the platform," followed by mobile-app training, admin enablement, and Customer Success Manager "ride along" sessions, plus free data migration for agencies with 30 or more clients — a fast, guided path onto the platform.

Where Enmantle differs

One login instead of a stack

Giv already brings scheduling, incidents, and care notes into a set of connected hubs, which is more unified than some platforms in this comparison. But payroll, one-click billing, and pharmacy integration sit behind the pricier Empower Suite and named per-feature add-ons — $12 per staff member for payroll and $3 per active client for one-click billing, per its pricing page, retrieved 2026-09-20 — so the bill and the feature list both grow as pieces are added. Enmantle prices per agency with every core module, including scheduling, EVV, billing, and payroll, included in the same tier, and the same clock event that satisfies EVV derives the billing row without a separate add-on to switch on.

Built for the direct support professional in the field

Enmantle's mobile app is voice-first, built for a DSP working in a client's home rather than at a desk. A DSP clocks in with a single GPS point, dictates the daily note by voice and polishes the wording with AI that only tidies phrasing and never invents content, and scores each ISP goal inline in that same note. Passing meds is one tap per dose against Due and Overdue tiles, with a full audit trail if a dose needs amending later. Giv's own mobile page and App Store listing confirm a native iOS app with GPS clock-in, daily notes, and medication reminders, but neither page documents an offline mode or voice-to-text — we found no public documentation of either capability for Giv's app. Enmantle's clock-in is designed to work without signal and sync once the phone reconnects.

EVV that is native, not bolted on

Enmantle is a DODD-approved alternate EVV vendor and submits directly to Sandata. GPS is captured at exactly two moments — clock-in and clock-out — and that same clock data derives the billing row and feeds the EVV Status dashboard, which reconciles verified visits against what was billed before DODD does. Giv, listed as "Giv.Plus" on Ohio's certified vendor list, is also an ODM-certified alternate EVV vendor, and its mobile page describes GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out with the start and end location tracked. We found no public documentation of offline or no-signal EVV capture on Giv's site, and no public documentation of a denial-reconciliation dashboard comparable to Enmantle's EVV Status page.

What migrates from Giv

Agencies moving off Giv bring across the same core records that Enmantle's import tools are built to carry. The table below lists what typically moves and how.

WhatHow it comes across
Locations (homes, sites, day programs)Import wizard step 1, from Excel or CSV guide
Users (staff and roles)Import wizard step 2, tied to their locations guide
ClientsImport wizard step 3; Ohio clients can also be drafted from the ISP PDF guide
CertificationsImport wizard step 4, attached to the imported users guide
Active ISP goalsRead from each client's ISP PDF into the goal list guide
Open billing cyclesCarried across with the Enmantle team during onboarding guide
Larger or recurring loadsWrite-only API tokens scoped to each import step guide

The import wizard brings locations, users, clients, and certifications in from Excel or CSV files, in that order, because later records point back at earlier ones — see the full sequence in Importing your agency's data. Ohio clients can also come in one at a time through the ISP PDF import, which drafts a client's identity, service authorizations, ISP goals, and contacts from a standard DODD ISP PDF and flags anything it is unsure about for review before anything saves. Agencies with a larger or ongoing feed can use scoped, write-only API tokens instead of the wizard. Onboarding runs two to four weeks end-to-end, covering migration, staff onboarding, and EVV configuration, with a parallel run before you fully cut over from Giv — Giv's own site separately advertises free data migration for agencies with 30 or more clients, so both vendors treat this as a supported process rather than a self-serve export.

When to stay on Giv

Giv is worth keeping if your agency operates outside Ohio and already has its EVV aggregator relationships and waiver billing configured through Giv in a state Enmantle does not yet serve — Enmantle is live in Ohio only today. Agencies that have already standardized on Giv's Empower Suite add-ons for pharmacy integration, one-click billing, and payroll, and see no reason to renegotiate a vendor relationship that is working, may also find the switching cost outweighs the benefit of moving to a single-tier platform this year.

§ — questions providers ask

Frequently asked questions.

Is Enmantle a good Giv alternative for Ohio DODD providers?
Yes — Enmantle runs scheduling, EVV, ISP goals, incidents, billing, and payroll in one login, built from inside a working Ohio agency. Giv is a nationwide platform with its connected hubs and published per-client pricing, but its Ohio page names the IO, Level One, and SELF waivers without mentioning county boards or cost centers such as HPC, ADS, or NMT.
How does Enmantle pricing compare with Giv?
Enmantle is priced per agency and scales with your clients, staff, and locations, with every core module included. Giv publishes its Essential Suite starting at $18 per active client per month, per its pricing page, retrieved 2026-09-20, with payroll a $12-per-staff add-on available only on its pricier Empower Suite. Enmantle includes payroll and billing in every tier already.

How Enmantle pricing works

Does Enmantle handle Ohio EVV like Giv?
Enmantle is a DODD-approved alternate EVV vendor submitting directly to Sandata, with GPS captured only at clock-in and clock-out. Giv, listed as "Giv.Plus" on Ohio's certified vendor list, is also an ODM-certified alternate EVV vendor with GPS-verified check-in. We found no public documentation of offline EVV capture or a denial-reconciliation dashboard on Giv's site, unlike Enmantle's EVV Status page.

Ohio EVV with Enmantle

What migrates from Giv, and how long does it take?
Enmantle's import wizard and Ohio ISP PDF reader carry locations, staff, clients, ISP goals, and certifications across in a fixed, reviewable order, with write-only API tokens available for larger loads. Onboarding runs two to four weeks end-to-end with a parallel run before cutover. Giv separately advertises free data migration for agencies with 30 or more clients.

Import your agency data

Does Enmantle track certifications and training like Giv?
Enmantle tracks each certification's status with color-coded expiry, built-in default renewal periods, and an approval flow before it counts toward compliance. Giv's Staff Hub securely stores documents such as background checks and CPR cards, which reads as document storage rather than a course-based learning system. We found no public documentation of an LMS or course catalog on Giv's site.
How does support compare between Enmantle and Giv?
Enmantle support runs Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern, by email, with a reply within one business day and a dedicated contact during onboarding. Giv lists phone, email, and live-chat support and says it aims to respond as soon as possible, per its support page, but does not publish specific hours.
