Considered Both Products	Payroll by Wave Matthew Gehrman Agency Principal Chose Payroll by Wave All the services we researched were quality options however given our size at the time I settled on Payroll by Wave apps based on cost and how easy it was to run payroll. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Payroll by Wave First is the cost. Since QuickBooks removed the inhouse solution and moved everything to the cloud, the cost for a small business is prohibited. WAVE is reasonable in cost. Support for QB isn't great they are always trying to upsell and commit. WAVE support in comparison … Incentivized Helpful? Alex Pegg Owner Chose Payroll by Wave Similar features, similar pricing. I selected Wave initially because my accounting is integrated with the other Wave software. Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Connolly President Chose Payroll by Wave I fell Payroll by Wave is more simplified and makes more sense for me as I already use Wave for bookkeeping. Incentivized Helpful? Brendon Brown Business Systems Administrator Chose Payroll by Wave We moved away from Wave as most of our contractors are time-based, and Wave flat out refuses to provide time tracking features. We tried integrations, but the pricing/complexity goes up and reliability goes down when integrating systems which were not intended to communicate. … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Payroll by Wave
Likelihood to Recommend	Great for small business payroll needs. Reports and taxes are taken care of, everything is automated and once you're set up it's literally just a matter of minutes to run payroll each time. You also get email reminders which is helpful. There are premium features available for companies with larger/more robust needs, and I would definitely recommend looking into this software if you are searching for a user friendly payroll solution Incentivized Alex Pegg Owner Read full review
Pros	Payroll by Wave processes quickly and deposits to employee accounts automatically Simple process to review time sheets, bonuses, commissions, etc... Provides detailed reports Incentivized Matthew Gehrman Agency Principal Read full review
Cons	Payroll is a paid feature at $10 + $4/employee per month. I suppose this is a normal expense, but other payroll systems I've used, such as ones built into online banking, have cost me a fraction of this. Incentivized Brendon Brown Business Systems Administrator Read full review
Usability	Very simple & straightforward system to learn and when time is always of the essence the efficiency is much appreciated Incentivized Matthew Gehrman Agency Principal Read full review
Support Rating	Quick response times, personalized service. They offer in-depth videos and guides for helping to get set up. Any time I have a question about taxes or reporting, they answer quickly and give comprehensive answers. Members of the team with whom I've interacted have been courteous, friendly, and helpful. Overall, great support. Incentivized Alex Pegg Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	We moved away from Wave as most of our contractors are time-based, and Wave flat out refuses to provide time tracking features. We tried integrations, but the pricing/complexity goes up and reliability goes down when integrating systems which were not intended to communicate. We since moved to Avaza and sacrificed Payroll for more robust time tracking, project management, and a very open feature development process Incentivized Brendon Brown Business Systems Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	Peace of mind that all the payroll tax-related stuff is taken care of accurately and on time. Easy to use interface saves time and helps ensure I am paid on time. Incentivized Alex Pegg Owner Read full review
