There is no public per-employee menu. This is a partner and mid-market sale, not a $17 checkout.

What we noted

No public prices
Not a self-serve $17 tool
Sales-quoted buying

Not the right fit for

Solo owners who want to buy payroll tonight
Global EOR buyers

Worth keeping in mind: Built so accounting firms can run payroll for many clients, not only one company's payday.

What each one does differently

isolved HCM

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Mid-market payroll and HCM if you are the employer, not the CPA firm.

Stands out: A US HCM suite aimed at small and midsize employers that want payroll plus HR in one place.

Watch out: There is no public per-employee menu. Modules and services are scoped in a quote.

Best for

US SMBs consolidating payroll, HR, and time
Employers that want benefits admin beside payday
HR teams that will take a demo rather than self-serve

Paychex

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Accountant-friendly payroll if you want a larger US brand.

Stands out: A payroll specialist with HR advisers, 401(k), insurance and PEO options, and a public developer portal for integrations.

Watch out: There is no public per-employee price for Flex. SurePayroll, a Paychex company for very small businesses, is a separate product.

Best for

US small and midsize businesses that want payroll plus HR help
Firms considering a PEO from the same vendor
Accountants managing client payroll

ADP RUN

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Small-business ADP if the accountant channel is not the point.

Stands out: ADP Assist flags payroll errors and answers questions using your company's own payroll data.

Watch out: Package dollars are a quote. A three-month free payroll promo is not a product trial.

Best for

US small businesses that want ADP to file taxes
Owners who run payroll on a phone
Shops that also want hiring and benefits add-ons

Gusto

$49/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Self-serve payroll if you will not buy through a CPA.

Stands out: Payroll sitting next to HR for US small companies, with a first-party MCP.

Watch out: It is US-only, so it is not a route to hiring people in other countries.

Best for

US small companies running payroll in-house
HR teams that want benefits next to pay
Desks that want MCP on payroll data
