The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/payroll ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Loket 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: 36 of the 61 other payroll services grade higher. - You could make: Employee records, time off and expense tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
