Tell us your state, your headcount, how you pay people, and what you already run. We name the one payroll provider that fits — and the one thing it's better than. Not a top-ten list. An answer.
Why the top-ten list doesn't fit you
That's tens of thousands of combinations. No writer at a comparison site is holding that in their head — which is why they wrote you a list instead of an answer.
Your answers run against every provider's actual plan rules, state by state. We check the ones that don't fit off the shelf, and hand you what's left.
How the counter works
State, headcount, how you pay, what you already use. Sixty seconds, no account.
We eliminate the providers that don't fit your setup — and show you which, and why.
One primary pick, one alternate, and the reason for the split. Not a wall of cards.
We earn a commission from some providers, and we say so up front — not buried in the footer like everyone else.
The shelf
A comparison site brags about how many it lists. For a specifier, a long list is the problem. We keep a tight roster we can spec against every state and pay structure — and we tell you what each one is bad at. A few of the names you'll see:
Before you start
We earn a commission from some of these, and we tell you which — up front, not buried in the footer. Everyone else hides it. We don't.

Field notes
Rank the whole market. Gate the answer behind your email. Bury what we earn in the footer. Say "best," "#1," or "ultimate guide."
Rule things out in front of you. Name one pick and one alternate. Tell you up front that we earn a commission — and tell you what each provider is bad at.
