Best for UK payroll with HR add-ons
Moorepay is UK payroll software and outsourcing, with employee self-service, reporting and HR add-ons. It publishes no prices, offers no free plan or trial, and is built around HMRC rules, so it is for UK employers only.
Who Moorepay is for
- Fits if you run a UK payroll and want the vendor to handle the switch
- Works for firms that want payroll and HR add-ons from one supplier
Who Moorepay is not for
- Skip it if you want a price first: none is published, only a quote
- Not for you if you are outside the UK: it is built around HMRC and UK pay rules
- Not for you if you want to try it first: no free plan or trial is listed
- Watch out: the mobile app is described on the site, but its store listings were not checked
Why Moorepay gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, and the pricing page asks you to request a quote, so there is nothing to set against the $29 category middle.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial on the pages read.
- CFeaturesPayroll, statutory pay, self-service, reporting and add-on HR modules. The listing shows no named integrations.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Payroll has to be set up for your pay runs, and the vendor does the switch.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no integrations listed. The site names no desktop app and the store listings were not checked.

Keep Moorepay, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Moorepay 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: 39 of the 40 other payroll services grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports, time off and employee records: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
What this rests on. Moorepay’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.
