    Intuit
    Chose Intuit Online Payroll (discontinued)
    Intuit Payroll is easier to use. It’s more robust than QuickBooks Online.

    Chose Intuit Online Payroll (discontinued)
    It's a payroll software with decent customer support readily available and direct integration with my accounting tools. This made it a prime fit for me, and made payment and tax reporting relatively simple, and errors readily correctable. It does not have time tracking, and I …

    Chose Intuit Online Payroll (discontinued)
    Paychex is more automated and user-friendly in the day-to-day operations of the payroll. We also have a great sales rep who has helped us with the whole process.

    Chose Intuit Online Payroll (discontinued)
    I like maintaining one very strong accounting/ERP ecosystem that I trust and that is why I selected Intuit Payroll. The system is trustworthy/reliable, runs on the cloud and integrates with existing QuickBooks products. The pricing becomes more competitive when it is bundled …

    If the circumstances are …

    Chose QuickBooks Online
    Tried Xero briefly but did not like it. Seemed less well organized and used too many terms commonly used outside the US. Xero also lacked payroll processing at the time. We looked a couple lower end products but did not like them. You cannot go wrong with QuickBooks in the US. …

    Chose QuickBooks Online
    We have clients who have used Sage/Peachtree and Quicken. QuickBooks Online seems a little more user-friendly for the average user, as well as offering a better interface. There seems to be more training and help available for the common person with QuickBooks than with other …

    Chose QuickBooks Online
    I haven't looked at too many competitors in the past few years. We have a few clients that also use FreshBooks for the invoicing, which seems to work well, but it is definitely not a full accounting package. I still prefer QuickBooks Online's invoicing over FreshBooks'.
