Affordable payroll for all team sizes

Pay more as you grow

Payroller charges $16/month for just 4 employees with standard features – then adds extra fees for each additional staff member. That means if you have 10 employees, you’re suddenly paying $40/month – over 30% more than Reckon! For growing small businesses, those extra costs can really stack up.

…while Reckon Payroll starts from just $14 /month

Reckon’s payroll plans are split across 3 very reasonable tiers. For just $14/month you can manage payroll for up to 4 employees. If your business grows over time the next bracket is just $28/month for up to 10 employees making it a super affordable and risk-free option for a small business looking to scale.
