The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/payroll ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Employee records, time off and applicant tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
