Why Companies Choose
Paychex vs. Gusto
Paychex offers dedicated support and scalable tools that Gusto can’t match.
What Sets Paychex Apart From Gusto
Personalized HR Support
Gusto outsources HR services to a third-party call center, offering general guidance through a call center without a strategic approach.
Paychex provides HR services led by dedicated, certified HR Business Partners (HRBPs) with an average of 15 years of experience, offering tailored solutions and strategic support to meet your business goals.
Choose the Leading 401(k) Provider
Gusto offers 401(k) through a third-party connection with Guideline, requiring employees to access 401(k) information through a second app.
On the other hand, Paychex is the leading 401(k) plan provider in the nation1 and offers the only single sign-on app that allows employers and employees to access all payroll and retirement information in one place.
Scalable Payroll & HR Solutions
Gusto lacks features like learning management, time tracking, employee engagement tools, and PEO options, making it likely that you'll need to switch providers as your business expands.
Paychex provides solutions for businesses of all sizes, with customizable plans to fit your needs and the flexibility to grow with your business.
Run Payroll From Anywhere
Gusto’s mobile app lacks comprehensive administrative capability, making it challenging for employers or HR staff to manage payroll or access key employee information on the go.
Paychex’s apps empower both administrators and employees with features like mobile payroll management, access to reports, and easy updates to profiles and benefits, all from one app.
