# What is the best app for handling payroll effortlessly?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey, so I’ve been trying to figure out the best app for handling payroll effortlessly because right now it feels like one of those things that should be simple but somehow takes more time every month than expected.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Nothing too complex on our end. Small team, fairly straightforward salaries. But between making sure everything is accurate, handling deductions, and just not wanting to mess anything up, it still ends up being something I double-check way more than I’d like.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">So I started looking into tools in the<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/payroll"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/payroll"><strong>payroll</strong></a> space to see what people are actually using day to day.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">A few that kept coming up:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/gusto/reviews"><strong>Gusto</strong></a> seems like what a lot of small teams start with because it’s straightforward and doesn’t feel too heavy</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/run-powered-by-adp/reviews"><strong>RUN Powered by ADP</strong></a> feels more established, like something people trust once they don’t want to worry about errors</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/rippling/reviews"><strong>Rippling</strong></a> is interesting because it connects payroll with everything else, not sure if that makes things easier or just more setup</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/paylocity/reviews"><strong>Paylocity</strong></a> looks like a mix of payroll + HR, maybe useful once things grow a bit</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/justworks/reviews"><strong>Justworks</strong></a> seems focused on taking things off your plate completely, especially compliance</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I’m not really looking for “advanced features”, just something where payroll runs and I don’t feel like I need to check everything twice.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If you’re using any of these:</p><ul>
<li>Did it actually make payroll feel routine, or is there still a lot of manual checking?</li>
<li>Anything that looked simple at first but got complicated over time?</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p>

&lt;p&gt;Also, a&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;t what point did payroll stop feeling like something you had to constantly double-check?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
