| Pricing | Not published · free tier: None | 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 |
| Pricing model | Custom | Subscription |
| Best for | US-based organisations of roughly 100-1,000+ employees consolidating payroll, benefits, time, talent, spend and IT provisioning onto one employee record, with budget for premium PEPM pricing and procurement able to negotiate a quote. | 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. |
| Avoid if | You employ people outside the United States, need a non-English employee UI, are a very small team wanting transparent self-serve pricing, cannot negotiate a quote, or treat employee-facing support quality as the deciding factor. | 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. |

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.
