	Patriot Payroll
Considered Both Products	Patriot Software Verified User Chose Patriot Payroll I haven't tried any online ones. Incentivized Helpful? Tom Ludwig President in Engineering at Saga Automation (Food & Beverages, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll Quickbooks is more expensive and not as easy Incentivized Helpful? Michael Krieger Owner in Marketing at Prime Marketing Experts (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll Paychex is considerably more expensive software granted they have services and analytics that are not available in Patriot. I am a small business with a tight budget, and that's why I ultimately selected Patriot Software because I can reinvest the savings in so many ways. Incentivized Helpful? Francesca Douglass-Franco Founder + Executive Director in Corporate at Humansave (Mental Health Care, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll Overall a much easier to use interface, a more competitive price point, excellent customer service—just what we needed for our small nonprofit. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Patriot Payroll I briefly used Intuit Online Payroll, and it was expensive, had no support, and was very frustrating to use. I also used 3 local tax companies for payroll - they were extremely expensive and messed up all of the time. Their employee turnover was very annoying (and it seemed to … Incentivized Helpful? Rick Nichols President, Principal Engineer in Corporate at Nichols Engineering Consultants-LLC (Mechanical Or Industrial Engineering, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll NatPay was okay, but Patriot does more for lower cost Incentivized Helpful? Amanda Brown Childcare Business Owner at Brown Bear Daycare (Consumer Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll None Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Patriot Payroll Patriot Payroll is cheaper with their partner program and customer service seems better. As well Quickbooks Desktop Payroll specifically was charging per direct deposit action which is cost prohibitive and Quickbooks customer service is virtually non existent. As well, Patriot … Incentivized Helpful? Andy Leiterman Tax Accountant in Finance and Accounting at Andy Leiterman Tax Prep & Accounting (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll I found Patriot Software to offer the best price and service package for me to be able to process payroll for a number of my smaller clients while still allowing me to make a profit on the added revenue. Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie Majeran Owner at WellRun Results, LLC (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll QuickBooks Online Payroll is literally the devil. They make things unclear, very difficult to tell what has been filed and what has been missed, hard to adjust owner salary whenever you want. I hate it! Gusto is more robust than Patriot and so for bigger companies with more … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Poirier Managing Partner in Legal at Law Office of Matthew J Poirier, PLLC (Law Practice, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll I did an internet research and it seemed like Patriot Pay was the most user-friendly and affordable and I am glad I chose Patriot. Incentivized Helpful? Jerry Stephens Owner/Director in Finance and Accounting at Various Vineyard churches (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll My early experience with Gusto was exceptional...then the wheels started falling off. I won't go into the details but I lost a couple payroll clients due to their errors and was on the verge of losing more. That coupled with massive fee increases made it necessary to find … Incentivized Helpful? Joe "JC" Cross Owner at Matter Of Pact (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll I did A LOT of research prior to making a decision on which software to use. Patriot had an abundance of high reviews, so I finally decided to give them a try. And while I don't normally find reasons to rave about software, I loved both the product and the service! Incentivized Helpful? Jason Moore, L.Ac. Owner - Licensed Acupuncturist at Coast Family Acupuncture (Alternative Medicine, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll I switched from ADP to Patriot PAY almost 2 years ago. I switched because Patriot was a much better financial deal. Also, Patriot has MUCH better customer service than ADP. They have an online chat, which is very quick and easy to obtain an answer. They also (usually) … Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Kung Applications Analyst in Finance and Accounting at Rapid City Regional Hospital (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll I don't think that Patriot PAY is more powerful than QuickBooks. However, it is way cheaper and so much easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Shannon Bronico Paralegal and Office Manager in Finance and Accounting at Hogan & Vandenberg LLC (Law Practice, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll I prefer Patriot to Paychex for several reasons. First of all, for a small business with less than 10 employees, the fees charged by Paychex are unnecessary overhead when Patriot offers high quality and more than sufficient tools to perform the same tasks. Paychex also does not … Incentivized Helpful? Jake Douglas Vice-President in Finance and Accounting at Church Finance Pros (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose Patriot Payroll Cost is the major factor here, but the ease of use (and design of the interface) is a big advantage for Patriot PAY. Items are (ironically) more "intuitive" to find and manage in Patriot PAY than Intuit. Patriot PAY is closer to ADP/Gusto/Paychex in how it looks and feels and … Incentivized Helpful?
