Price

SurePayroll is priced for businesses with 1–5 employees.

SurePayroll starts at $36/month for one employee.

Gusto is priced for larger teams.

Gusto starts at $55/month. For a business with three employees, that's a meaningful difference — every month, all year.

Focus

SurePayroll is built around the features small businesses need.

SurePayroll is payroll and tax filing, built for 1–5 employees — not scaled down from something bigger.

Gusto includes features most small businesses may never use.

Gusto includes hiring tools, PTO tracking, and benefits administration. Those are real features — for a business with 20+ employees. If you have three, you're paying for a platform built for someone else's headcount.

Support

SurePayroll includes free account setup and payroll migration for every customer.

When you sign up for SurePayroll, a dedicated setup team is available to walk you through the process — no matter how many employees you have.

Setup and migration support only available on highest tier plan.

With Gusto, payroll migration and account setup is a premium feature — not included on Simple or Plus plans.

Payroll built for your business — not someone else's headcount.

SurePayroll is purpose-built for solopreneurs and small businesses with 1–5 employees. Set up in minutes. Supported from day one.
