Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 61 other payroll services we grade
Payentry, operated by MPAY LLC, sells payroll services with HR, insurance and retirement plan services around them. Each client works with a dedicated advocate and a payroll professional to configure a plan. Plans run from Payroll through Comprehensive to Comprehensive Plus.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Payentry, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating is on record, and plans are set up with a consultant rather than by signing up.
- 1
Best for US payroll with a named payroll professional
Every plan starts with a sales consultation, so no price is published and the features change from client to client.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Payroll plan
Unlimited payroll processing, tax filings, new hire reporting, direct deposit, garnishments and year-end W-2 and 1099 forms.

- 5

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published and every plan is a Let's Talk consultation, so it sits at C. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing is free: no free plan and no trial are listed, so the way in is paying. |
| Features | C | Plans 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating is on record, and plans are set up with a consultant rather than by signing up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only with two integrations listed, QuickBooks Online and Employee Navigator, and no apps. |
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.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small and mid-size employers wanting a named payroll contact
- Associations and firms reselling payroll
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; every plan is a Let's Talk consultation.
- Plans are configured with a sales team, so features and add-ons vary by client.

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 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.
