Azets is an accounting group whose payroll is a bureau service, with its staff running payroll for you. It is not self-serve software, no price is published, and it only covers eight countries. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; payroll is quoted through a contact form, so it sits in the middle of payroll tools. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial on the pages read. - **Features: C.** Managed payroll, pensions and compliance, payslips, reports and a dedicated account manager. It is a service rather than software you run yourself, so it is a narrower job than the category. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You hand work over rather than learn a product, but onboarding is needed. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web portal only on the listing, with no app named and no integrations list.

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: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
