| Pricing | USD $8/employee/month plus a $50/month base fee (Payroll plan) · free tier: None; limited-time promotion of 3 months of free payroll on the Payroll plan | USD $49 base/month + $6 per worker (minimum $55/month for one worker) · free tier: Free first month; the 30-day free period begins after self-onboarding is completed and the bank account is verified.

| Best for | US-based companies of roughly 5–100 employees on East Coast or Central hours that want payroll plus real group health benefits from one vendor at a published flat price, without an in-house HR team. | US employers of roughly 1–50 workers, first-time employers, nonprofits and accounting firms running several small client payrolls, especially on a QuickBooks or Xero stack needing multi-state filing or 50-state benefits. |
| Avoid if | You need custom reporting, deep HR customisation, heavy international hiring at reasonable EOR cost, or guaranteed live support in West Coast business hours on lower tiers. | You need international or multi-currency payroll, a broad integration ecosystem (ATS, expense, ERP), PTO and live HR advice inside the base price, mid-market/enterprise capability, or you have zero tolerance for a missed tax filing without an accountant independently watching agency notices. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
