### "Affordable and efficient "

December 2, 2020

5.0

I love gusto. For a small business this is the perfect solution for ease. Also for pay as you go workers comp insurance.

Pros

I love the on boarding it makes it easy for my employees to complete the paperwork and keep Me compliant.

Cons

I wish the time tracking and scheduling was better so I could use only one product. I use homebase for time clock and schedule unfortunately the integration is not great. I have to input the time because it does not work right.

Reason for choosing Gusto

Pricing is key in a new small business.

### "Gusto makes payrolling fantastic!"

April 1, 2021

5.0

Pros

Reasonable prices, straightforward payrolling, and tax conduct features make Gusto the top choice for smaller enterprise companies. Gusto's ease of use is definitely the best among all the competitiors.

Cons

I would like Gusto to provide user preferences to customize the dashboard. Sometimes due to a large number of notifications, the dashboard gets complicated.

### "Gusto Payroll Software Review."

January 21, 2021

2.0

Not very ecstatic. We'll be switching within the week.

Pros

Customer profile is easy to use. Easy to update employee data and maneuver the website.

Cons

Receiving payroll in a timely fashion once they have received it, is not punctual with time. and not easy to enter individual employees' pay.

### "A better way to mange your money."

September 24, 2020

5.0

Gusto is an awesome software that makes my life easier, and I truly mean my entire life!

Pros

Gusto makes payday a breeze. As someone who handles a team, being able have time tracking for them is fantastic. I am paid a salary, and gusto makes that as easy as possible. I got married while using gusto and changing filing status took seconds. Absolutely love gusto.

Cons

The window to approve hours is small, I think 24 hours. Not sure how you could go about fixing this, but it would be my only complaint.

### "Gusto! EASY to use payroll software for small business!"

May 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

I used to use Paychex ... Gusto is SO easy compared to Paychex AND I'm saving a ton of money in fees associated with the number of employees I have! I am able to run payroll every week (which is my preference) because it's that much cheaper!

Cons

I have nothing but great things to say about using Gusto! I rave about it to anyone in small business if possible!

### "Track shifts easily"

November 29, 2019

5.0

This cuts down payroll time quite a bit by not having to track paper copies and being able to have everyone's information all in one place

Pros

This makes it really easily to clock in and out from wherever you are and shows you how much you make. Easy to edit shifts if needed.

Cons

Sometimes the software glitches and leaves you clocked in for 24 hours. It shows the amount you make each day but is before taxes so have to remember that.

### "Gusto is good for small businesses"

March 26, 2020

4.0

They provided payroll, HR, and benefits for our company. They were always willing to help and avaialbel in very short periods of time.

Pros

Customer or Human resources support is prompt and valuable. They answer your questions and concerns swiftly and with knowledge. The software is fairly intuitive so navigating isn't difficult.

Cons

Most pieces of functionality already exist in the software suite. I cannot remember an issue that they were not able to resolve during my time working with them or the software. Some of the companies they partner with are distant and not readily available for some areas. I found dental to be very difficult, but that could have just been the partner my company chose, I didn't see any other options.

### "Best payroll service out there!"

February 3, 2020

5.0

One of the best Saas-type services I've ever used.

Pros

These guys rock! set up is fast and easy, customer support is super fast and responsive, and they are really responsive to my employees as well.

Cons

I can't think of a downside... compared to other options I've worked with (doing payroll myself - yuck! or having my accountant do it - expensive! or Quickbooks - what a pain in the ass) Gusto is fantastic! I guess the "con" is that they don't also provide small business book keeping, too! I'd sign up for that in a heart beat.

Reason for choosing Gusto

price, ease of use, and customer support

Incredible customer service super easy to use just makes payroll a breeze

Pros

The app is so simple to use-Great reminders Each week and they take all the headache out a payroll!.

Cons

I’m not sure there are any yet. I really don’t have a con except maybe it would be nice to have a time sheet app. And they may have one and I haven’t had time to go research it.

### "Gusto - young and not quite there yet"

July 25, 2019

4.0

It is easy to see that Gusto has an apeal for small businesses and if they keep working on it as they have been it wont be long as they continue to add and make the product better. Something that may not be for us, but will deffinatily keep an eye on it in the future.

Pros

Gusto is still relatively young but it does stand out with its ease of use and how it has a good set of commonly used tools readily available. Payroll can get complex and take alot of time but Gusto does a good job of taking care of that. The system has shown steady improvements.

Cons

There are some limitations with schedules and when we had tried it there was no weekend support. The dashboard leaves a little to be desired but it is constantly being updated and improved.

### "Payroll for small business"

December 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

We were automatically migrated over to Gusto since Xero Payroll is shutting down at the end of 2018. So far the setup was seamless and mostly done by the migration team. It is the simplest and most affordable payroll option we were able to find.

Cons

Even though it is affordable, it still adds to our business's overhead. They charge extra for basic features that everyone requires -- they have features that we need in the Complete package plan which should really be made available in the Core package plan.

July 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

Gusto is easy to use, easy to set up and run payroll. If you are just starting out with paying people this is a perfect solution

Cons

They don't actually know all the laws or catch everything. I want my payroll company to remind me of the upcoming laws both federal and state and they don't do that. I have to tell them.

Finding Gross Pay and Employer cost is actually a very diffeicult in CA. But, Gusto makes it easier for the person who is not even expert. Customer Support is very good that they respond to us proactively and make sure the entities meet tax complainces and employees on time payment

Pros

Customer Support is very friendly Reporting Style Integrations with Expensify and Accounting Software Garnishments and Autodeductions

Cons

Form 914X is not handled properly There is a delay in claiming R&D Tax Credit

### "Fun Interface, Great Affordable Payroll Option for Start-ups"

July 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

Gusto has a easy to use, easy to follow, fun interface. Love the personality that comes along with the software as well as the witty payroll facts. Makes payroll fun! It also integrated really well with our 401K vendor, Guideline, which make our lives much easier.

Cons

For a start up, it is a perfect option. As the organization got bigger, we needed a tool that was a little bit more complex.

### "No service"

August 29, 2017

1.0

Pros

Product is ok but if you have any issues or they made mistake it will not be fixed.

Cons

No way to get them to respond to issues. Owe us money, they admit it, yet tell us check is in the mail every week for 6 months. So strange they won't resolve yet admitted in 5 emails it was their mistake and the check is in the mail. Growth issues and poor management
