Way better than ADP" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gusto makes payroll incredibly easy to run — even for someone without a dedicated HR or accounting background. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the automated tax filing saves a significant amount of time. The onboarding flow for new employees is smooth and largely self-service, which reduces the administrative burden. Integration with popular accounting tools like QuickBooks is also a big plus. > > **Cons**: The pricing can add up quickly as you scale, especially when adding features like time tracking or benefits administration. Customer support response times can be slow during peak periods. Some advanced reporting features feel limited compared to dedicated HR platforms, and the mobile app could use more functionality for managers. > > Overall, Gusto has been a reliable and time-saving solution for managing payroll and HR for our small business. The setup was straightforward and the ongoing maintenance is minimal. While there are some areas for improvement, particularly around pricing and support, it covers the essentials well and has noticeably reduced the stress of payroll processing. ----- ### "Gusto for payroll and onboarding" — 3.0/5 > **Sophie** | *4 March 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being in HR, using a platform like Gusto was very helpful as everything is one place. I found it quite easy to process payroll and onboard new employees. I only have 3 locations that I had to cover but it made it easy to switch between different locations. As well as offering the different ways to label the employees and make sure the correct tax documents were associated with the correct person. > > **Cons**: I felt as though anytime I needed something through customer support, it would be someone who does not truly understand the situation or they did not speak english. I had no issues with time management and getting them on the phones as they would call right away but even with that, sometimes I did not get my issues resolved ----- Page: 1 / 169\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/131882/gusto?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/131882/gusto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
