Best for US payroll with a named payroll professional
Payentry sells US payroll services with HR, insurance and retirement plans around them, and each client gets a payroll professional and an advocate. Every plan starts with a sales consultation, so no price is published and the features change from client to client.
Who Payentry is for
- Fits if you are a US business and want a named payroll person to deal with
- Works for firms that also want HR, insurance and retirement help from the same provider
Who Payentry is not for
- Not for you if you want to see prices, because every plan is a consultation
- Skip it if you employ outside the US, as the pages describe US payroll and tax
- Watch out: features and add-ons vary by client, so two quotes may not compare
- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial, since none is listed
Why Payentry 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 every plan is a Let's Talk consultation, so it sits at C.
- FFree plan and trialNothing is free: no free plan and no trial are listed, so the way in is paying.
- CFeaturesPlans run from Payroll up to Comprehensive Plus, with employee self-service and a QuickBooks Online link. Plans are configured with sales, so what you get varies.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record, and plans are set up with a consultant rather than by signing up.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only with two integrations listed, QuickBooks Online and Employee Navigator, and no apps.

Keep Payentry, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Payentry 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
- Employee records and time off: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
What this rests on. Payentry’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.
