Additional Details
Gusto offers three pricing plans for payroll, benefits, and HR, so you can choose the plan that meets your business needs.
Comparable prices are overall with other payroll service companies. I can't do all the complicated payrolls like a few others, but overall good to work with 90% of our clients.
Gusto generally wins on price compared to its competitors. Some organizations nickel-and-dime on billing with headcount, states filed, etc. while Gusto's bills are very easy to calculate and understand. Competitors generally will handle state registrations that Gusto won't do, …
While Dayforce is more robust than Gusto in some ways, Gusto is a nicer overall experience. We all enjoy using the product. It was thoughtfully designed and that shows in the way the information is organized. It gives our employees a central place to find the data they need, …
Gusto was a bit difficult platform and its customer support was not responding so we made our mind to switch the tool and we chose Paylocity. Now Paylocity is giving great services and I am hopeful that it will be improving its services and giving more advanced services.
Have worked with ADP, Gusto and Ceridian. All three, even at their worst were better than Paylocity. There were definitely issues with them from time to time as well but nowhere like or spanning as long of a time as they did at Paylocity

Chose Paylocity
We have used Gusto, Paychex, ADP, and QuickBooks payroll. We chose Paylocity because we believed it would save us time and would be an amazing service. It is not a service--it is software with many glitches that costs us time and money. Beware what your sales rep sells …

Chose Paylocity
Gusto was my favorite overall, but would have been too pricey with the growth that we had projected. Paychex was great, but the customer service was terrible. ADP was meh. More trouble than it was worth.
Paylocity was the most affordable option that offered a service to help us get set up in states across the US. They have a background check partner and offer free integration with Employee Navigator, which was important to us. Justworks PEO was a close second, but couldn't …
Gusto is horrible, and Paylocity blows it out of the water. Paycom and Paycor and comparable, but for us it came down to the price, and the relationship that we established with our account manager and sales representative. Mike Vezzoli was excellent and was incredibly genuine …
It is better for growing organizations due to its integrations with Bswfit and BambooHR. It saves time when we do not manually enter benefits, which we had to do while we were on Gusto.
Some of these other platforms were less expensive than Paylocity but lacked the integrations we sought. They also did not have the customer support and knowledge base Paylocity does. The demo for Paylocity was far more robust and curtailed our pain points than any other demo …
We went with Paylocity because of the level of service they provided for a company of our size. Being mid-market, there aren't many options, but I feel confident with our decision for us and our employees moving forward as we continue to grow internally and within different …
From what I have used, Paycom is the one closest but I still prefer Paylocity because is way more user-friendly with Payroll processing, timesheets, accruals, and reporting. Paycom is cumbersome, the customer service is just okay and the platform is "rigid", employees don't …
I have used all of the above in the past when working for other companies. While I didn't have issues with any of the others, Paylocity does well against the others. It has great functionality compared to the others, and I feel it has made the others step up and change their …
Products have a lot of the same functions, so I believe the key is to pick a product and stick with it - commit to learning how it functions, and train employees to do the same. Flip-flopping between products is the worst you can do.
Paylocity is an all-in-one platform. I have used many HRIS softwares and not one compares to Paylocity. I have been with organizations who have converted from others to Paylocity and have been extremely happy with their decision. Paylocity offers many great modules, …
Its much more in-house for us which I think helps us understand our costs, wages, and fix any problems quicker than waiting for a rep from the company to look at the complaint.
Paylocity is a more-in-one solution but we are not happy with its offerings and have found ourselves using more 3rd party solutions because Paylocity's solutions are just okay.
