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: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when. - You could not: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
