To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Azets, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for managed payroll through an accounting firm
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Azets 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
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
What this rests on. Azets’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.
