How prices and features are checked

Last checked 10 November 2026

Source status labels: Official vendor page, Official government page, Quote-only / unpublished. A cell marked TBD was not found on an official page on the check date. Dates use the America/Los Angeles calendar (Pacific Time). Last checked 10 November 2026.

The goal is a table you can audit. If a number cannot be traced to an official vendor or government page on the check date, it is marked TBD. Nothing on this site was invented to fill a cell.

Sources we use

• Official vendor pricing pages first.
• Official vendor help centers, when they state fees or plan limits that the marketing page leaves out.
• Official government pages for tax and labor rules (for example DIR and EDD in California).

Third-party roundups, app-store reviews, and vendor awards are not used as price sources. A vendor comparison page is treated as that vendor's claim, and the other vendor's figure is confirmed on the other vendor's own page when possible.

What gets recorded

• The plan name as published.
• The regular list price, written as a formula when the vendor bills a base fee plus a per-person fee.
• Worked examples for one and five people paid, using that formula.
• Promotions, noted as promotions with the check date, not as the ongoing price.
• The URL and the date checked, in America/Los_Angeles calendar time: 10 November 2026.

What we do not do

• Create vendor accounts, start trials, or call sales teams.
• Guess a quote-only total. ADP RUN and Paychex Flex still have no public list prices. Rippling publishes starting figures ($8 per user per month, and a $40 monthly base fee on its small-business page) but says Rippling Payroll pricing requires a custom quote, so this site does not treat a worked $40 + $8 total as a complete list price.
• Carry forward a number from an older article when an official page is more recent. Vendor blogs can lag. The California minimum wage on this site comes from DIR, not from a vendor blog that still mentioned an older rate.
• Score, rate, or rank products.

Planned recheck cadence

Prices are scheduled to be rechecked on a fixed schedule, with a heavier pass before January, which is a common payroll-switch window. Each table's last-checked line moves only after the source is opened again.

Corrections

Use the corrections form to report anything that looks wrong. The preference is to fix the table and the check date, not to hide the change.
