Yeah, Gusto is a big win IMO. Payroll stuff sucks, especially for early stage businesses. I've used all the services over the past 15 years, my current company is using Gusto, still sucks, but sucks the least, best price, best service. And 1000s of small businesses trust Gusto to process millions of dollars of their most sacred money each month. Underrated.


Zenpayroll was great! Gusto sucks. And the change took place right around the time of the name change.

Now, both Gusto and Zenefits are trying to play the same game and both are basically parasitic companies feeding off lock-in and transaction fees.


Really curious what changed between ZP and Gusto. (we only use their basic payroll product)


Which payroll and benefits providers make their money a different way?
