Three clicks and everyone is paid

W-2s went out in January without me doing anything. I checked them, they were correct, and that was the whole of year end.

Pros

Running payroll takes about three minutes once it is set up.

Cons

Resolving an agency tax notice can take weeks.

W-2s went out in January without me doing anything. I checked them, they were correct, and that was the whole of year end.

The filings just happen

New hire onboarding used to be a folder of PDFs and a week of chasing. Now they get a link, fill in their own W-4 and direct deposit, and they are in the next run. We hired six people last year and it was a non event every time.

Pros

Running payroll takes about three minutes once it is set up.

Three clicks and everyone is paid

We have staff in four states and multi state payroll is included rather than surcharged. Our old provider wanted an extra fee per state, which for a remote team was a real cost.

Pros

Form 941, 940, W-2 and 1099-NEC filings are automatic and included, in all 50 states.

Cons

Reporting is thin compared with ADP or Paychex.

Three clicks and everyone is paid

Benefits sync back to payroll so deductions are simply right. No spreadsheet, no reconciliation, no discovering an error in March.

Pros

Multi state payroll is included rather than an add on fee per state.

Cons

The per person fee makes it expensive past roughly 40 employees.

Great product, the per person fee adds up

At twelve people it was excellent value. At forty the monthly bill is real money and I have started pricing alternatives. The product has not got worse, we just got bigger and the model scales against us.

Pros

Multi state payroll is included rather than an add on fee per state.

Cons

Support has slowed noticeably as the company has grown.
