Justworks alternatives, ranked by what they actually cost
Justworks does not publish enough pricing detail for a like-for-like cost comparison, so the alternatives below are ordered by their own published cost at 10 employees.
When Justworks is still the right answer
Cost is one column of several, and this site only holds that column. If you are already running Justworks and it works, the cost of switching payroll mid-year — re-entering year-to-date figures, re-filing, retraining whoever runs it — is real and is not on this page. A cheaper monthly figure has to clear that cost before it is a saving.
The alternatives, by published cost
| Vendor | Cheapest plan | At 10 employees | Who it fits | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stay on Justworks | — | $790 | switching cost is not counted anywhere on this page | Its figures |
