Gusto is great!
Onboarding and Payroll Gusto makes both very easy!
- Onboarding is super easy for me and my employees.
- Payroll is easy to enter.
- Customer service is very quick and friendly.
- Recently, they have let the ball drop a bit with submitting some state forms on time.
- Other than this recent issues with timely forms, they have been great!

- Gusto's rates are very reasonable
- I don't need to have another company for onboarding, which saves money
ADP is more expensive, is more difficult to use, and does not have as good of customer service

Last year, I ran a payroll with errors (totally our fault - not Gusto's). Gusto was super quick to respond, letting me know how to reverse the payroll, so I could make corrections and rerun it. It was such a relief to not only have a way to correct it but also to have an answer quickly, so I didn't spend much time stressing about what to do.

Yes, but I don't use it

- Can be hard to find report you are looking for
- Automatic payroll tax payments

- Spend less time on manual payroll calculations
- Spend less time on manual payroll reports filing
- Cost adjusts based on number of employees
- Intuit Online Payroll (discontinued) and RUN Powered by ADP®
Gusto is better than IOP because Gusto files payroll returns and pays payroll taxes automatically. IOP also does not have a good support feature. Gusto is better than ADP because they are more responsive and have a better and more extensive website.

Intuit online payroll - was going out of business and also Gusto was recommended by one of our clients

Gusto Makes Payroll Painless
We use Gusto organization-wide as our payroll processor. Since we're a smaller business, having user-friendly tools on the administrative end is a huge help, since payroll is not being run by a dedicated HR team. We also love how it integrates easily with every other tool we need it to, from time tracking to accounting.
- Incredibly user-friendly.
- Excellent support.
- All the necessary integrations.
- Wish it had its own built in time-tracking to remove the need of a separate tool.
- Live chat for lower tiers of service.

- Gusto frees up immense amounts of time in payroll administration. It's a no-brainer.
There's no comparison here. Any other payroll tool we've ever looked at just can't measure up, at least for our small business use. I'm sure there are some niche applications we're missing, but it just isn't an issue for us. Gusto has a better UI, better support, employees enjoy it more, etc...
