Gusto is a popular payroll platform, but it wasn't built for accountants managing multiple clients. Its per-client pricing ($46/month base + $6/employee) adds up fast. Here's how Payrollix compares — and where it saves you thousands per year.
$12/client/mo ($10 annual) + $2/extra employee past 5
$46/mo base + $6/employee/mo per client
An accountant with 50 clients (avg 8 employees each) pays ~$800/mo with Payrollix vs ~$4,700/mo with Gusto — saving $46,800/year.
