Best for US payroll with an optional done-for-you service
Asure sells US payroll, tax, HR and benefits tools, which you can run yourself in AsureCentral or hand to its specialists through AsureWorks. No price is published, and the pages are written for US employers only.
Who Asure is for
- Fits if you are a US employer who wants payroll, time tracking and benefits from one vendor
- Works for businesses that might later hand payroll to a managed service
Who Asure is not for
- Not for you if you want a price up front, because none is published
- Skip it if you employ outside the US, since the pages describe a US employer focus
- Watch out: AsureCentral and AsureWorks are separate delivery models, so check which one a quote covers
- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial, as none is listed
Why Asure gets a 1.6

- CValue for moneyNo price is published; the site offers Get Pricing and Talk to an Expert, so it sits at C.
- FFree plan and trialNothing is free: no free plan and no trial are listed, so the way in is paying.
- CFeaturesPayroll, time and attendance, recruiting, benefits and an AI assistant. The self-run platform and the managed service are separate ways to buy it, and the pages describe US employers only.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record, and you pick a delivery model and set up payroll before using it.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only on the listing, with no apps and no integrations named.

Keep Asure, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Asure you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 52 of the 61 other payroll services grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records, time off and applicant tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Asure’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
