Here's how it works

Two minutes of questions beats two weeks of tabs.

  1. Answer nine questions.

    Headcount, states, benefits, and how you feel about co-employment. Plain language, no title assumed, about two minutes.

  2. See your match, with the math.

    Which model fits you and what it should cost at your size. You see all of it before we ask for anything.

  3. You choose what happens next.

    Want an introduction? We connect you with one vetted provider matched to your answers. One, not a call list. Or take the answer and go; that is fine too.

The 30-second version

Four ways to run payroll and HR. One fits you.

Most advice on this decision comes from someone selling one of the four. We do not run payroll, so we can tell you the ladder straight.

Option 1

Payroll software

You run it yourself. Usually right for small teams in one state with simple needs. Cheapest by far, and often genuinely enough.

Typical: $40 to $60/mo base + $6 to $12 per employee

Option 2

Payroll bureau

A service firm processes payroll and files your taxes, and a human answers when something breaks. The step up from doing it yourself.

Typical: $30 to $150/mo base + $4 to $12 per employee per run

Option 3

ASO

Hands-on payroll and HR administration without co-employment. You stay the sole employer and keep your own benefits plans.

Typical: $30 to $100 per employee per month

Option 4

PEO

A co-employment partner takes on payroll, big-group benefits, workers comp, and compliance. The most complete, and the biggest commitment.

Typical: $40 to $160 per employee per month, or 2% to 12% of payroll

Which option is yours depends on headcount, states, benefits, compliance load, and how you feel about co-employment. That is exactly what the matcher reads. Want the long version first? Start with PEO vs ASO vs payroll service.

Stop researching. Get matched.

Nine questions. Two minutes. An honest recommendation with real price benchmarks, whether that points to a PEO, an ASO, a payroll bureau, or software you run yourself.

Why trust the match

Neutral is not a slogan here. It is the whole design.

No provider can buy a match

Ranking and routing are never for sale. The matching engine reads your answers and published rules. That is its entire input.

Routed by fit, full stop

Refuse co-employment and no PEO will appear. Run a small, simple business and the answer is software. The honest match is the product.

Vetted, national and local

A provider gets recommended only with a track record, strong reviews, and history we can check. The bar is the same for a local bureau and a national brand.
