OnPay vs Gusto: The Value Play vs the Feature Play for Small Business Payroll
OnPay charges $40 per month plus $6 per employee. One plan. Every feature included. No tiers, no upsells, no surprise fees. Gusto starts at the same price for its basic plan but charges $80 plus $12 per employee for the features most businesses actually need (benefits, time tracking, next-day deposit). Both are good products for small businesses. The difference: OnPay gives you everything at one price and stays out of the way. Gusto gives you a better interface, more HR features, and a bigger ecosystem — but you pay more for it. Not sure which trade-off fits? Take the quick quiz below.
