“The automated payroll runs, tax filings, and built‑in compliance support helped reduce errors and save time, while the clean interface made it easy to navigate without extensive training. Although it can feel somewhat limited for more complex HR needs, Gusto worked efficiently for day‑to‑day payroll management and gave confidence that key processes were being handled correctly.“

### "Gusto is awesome! Best HR Software there is"

October 28, 2025

5.0

I have loved Gusto. I've used almost all of the big payroll/HR systems and Gusto is head and shoulders above the rest. Easy to use, awesome automations, great at gathering feedback, makes sense, and more.

Pros

Gusto is awesome! Easiest HR system I've used. Super simple and straightforward. Has great workflows. Is so easy to understand and access as a user.

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints about Gusto. I've had a couple of login issues before, but nothing big stands out.

I don't know that our company switched, but when I came to the company, I came from using ADP and I'm so thrilled to switch to Gusto. ADP makes life hard always, Gusto makes life easy and I daresay fun!

Hi Greg, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We are thrilled to hear that Gusto has made HR and payroll simple, intuitive, and even enjoyable. It is great to know that our workflows and automations are helping you focus on your team instead of administrative tasks. We also appreciate you mentioning the brief login issues. Feedback like this helps us continue improving the experience for everyone. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are so glad you are with Gusto. -Gusto Client Relations

### "Excellent Time Management Program"

February 26, 2026

5.0

Great Experience! Have been using Gusto for over 7+ years now and have not even wanted or needed to look for any additional services!

Pros

Very easy to use app that allows all employees the ease of time tracking and time off requests. Great customer support for small business management and value for your money!

Cons

Nothing! We have been able to set up the app to allow for as much autonomy as we like for our employees to have, while still being streamlined for payroll and schedules!

### "Surprisingly good results"

August 25, 2026

5.0

We used to do our time sheeting with papers and those were awful to manage. Taxes are handled through Gusto so I don’t have to worry too much about that either.

Pros

Onboarding worked as well as could be hoped for. When we added a bunch of new hires at once the onboarding process did not fall apart.

Cons

The Pay Group Setting is buried behind some obscure Yes/No toggle. This took me TWO HOURS TO FIND ON TUESDAY before I clicked the wrong Menu and inadvertently found it. Creating customized reports are nearly impossible.

### "I'm a small business with two owners"

January 15, 2026

1.0

I'm a small business with two owners, we're beyond fed up with Gusto. I wish I could leave no stars. This is not a one-off issue; it has happened every single year, and this year was the final straw. Gusto once again withdrew money from my business account without authorization, despite me explicitly handling my own tax payments and clearly stating, in writing, that I did not approve the withdrawal. This time, Gusto sent a message saying they would pull $756 at 17:00 PM. I responded within 30 minutes, clearly objecting and stating I do not authorize tax payments through Gusto. Despite that, the money was pulled less than 24 hours later. No consent. No signed authorization. No meaningful opportunity to stop it. When I pushed back two days later, I was told the money had already been remitted and that I now have to chase a government agency (I'm assuming the IRS, but who knows, they wont tell me) by myself to attempt a refund. Gusto takes no responsibility and simply shrugs once the money is gone. Gusto’s actions continuously creates unnecessary financial strain and wasted time. Their explanation is always the same: confusing, bureaucratic, and designed to shift blame back onto the customer. The platform itself is misleading. You think you have control over tax payments, you don’t. Gusto will pull funds anyway, then hide behind process and timing excuses when called out. This is unprofessional, and frankly unacceptable for a payroll company that handles people’s livelihoods. I am done. I am moving my business to Paychex, a company that understands authorization, accountability, and basic respect for its customers’ money. If you value control over your finances and don’t want to fight the same battle year after year, look elsewhere.

Pros

Pros: Employees were paid on time during the years I used Gusto. There really isn't any more pros. its hard to get ahold of someone when you have a problem. which for me is every year.

Cons

Everything else. Hidden fees and they pull funds to cover "taxes" even if you handle taxes separately.

Response from Gusto

January 20, 2026

Hi Garrett, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how concerning unexpected tax withdrawals can feel, and we appreciate you raising this. We’ve provided additional details directly in your existing support case so we can address your specific account in full. For compliance reasons, Gusto does run end-of-year tax reconciliation payrolls to ensure any missing or underpaid taxes are accurately reported and remitted to the appropriate agencies. In situations like this, once funds are sent to the agency, they can typically be recouped directly from the IRS, and our team has shared guidance on that process with you. Because payroll and tax matters involve sensitive account details, we’re limited in what we can discuss publicly, but our support team remains the best place to continue this conversation and provide clarity. We appreciate your feedback and the time you spent with Gusto, and we’ve shared your concerns internally to help inform ongoing improvem

I absolutely loved using Gusto. The set up was easy . Customer Service was great . Employee Management was great as well .

Pros

Its great value for the money and the customer service was amazing . If you have a small business this is the best payroll system to use.

Cons

There were a few bugs and issues, but customer services was always there to help quickly. Their response time was very fast.

### "DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY"

February 20, 2026

1.0

In the beggining it was okay, now customer service and response is abysmal.. I cannot get a response without doing things like this.

Pros

They seemed to have an easy and effective setup this was a lie. In the begging they responded quickly to chat only to never respond to anything short of escalations

Cons

They lie about forms and tax filing so that they cause loss of money to the company. They claim i filled out a w-4 which they used to determine the tax witholding but they lied about it

### "Worst payroll experience ever"

July 2, 2026

1.0

If zero stars where a rating it would be -10. Customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. I spent 4 days and countless hours on the phone with no resolution. I told the supervisor who called me back I wanted a refund and that I wanted to cancel. I was never given the procedure to cancel and was charged again. I was refused a refund.

Pros

Nothing, It was not good from start to finish. I have nothing good to report. I ran one payroll run and it was a disaster

Cons

Everything, from time I signed up until I was able to cancel. I was given wrong information. Customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. I spent 4 days and countless hours on the phone with no resolution.

Very easy to use, easy to install great value for the cost of the software. It also takes care of filing quarterly reports and payroll taxes.

Pros

Very easy to install and use. Very good value for the amount it costs. Customer support is very prompt.

Cons

Honestly, not many cons. Maybe it could have more professional graphics. But overall, it's very simple to install and use

July 27, 2026

5.0

Pros

Managing payroll, benefits, and onboarding for new engineers becomes child's play. Gusto automates tax filings and hours tracking, freeing me from heavy administrative burdens.

Cons

The tool is ideal for US-based teams, but becomes less suitable when handling international contracts or labor regulations specific to regions outside the US.

### "Perfect for new business "

July 20, 2026

4.0

So far I am very pleased! The customer supper and ability to jump on a call with a live person instead of an AI chat bot is really what drew me! As a business owner who is brand new to running payroll I needed something I could feel confident in getting assistance with and Gusto definitely checks that box

Pros

I’m very satisfied with the ease of this program. It was simplistic to get my business signed up. The clear steps on setup was surprisingly simple and quick

Cons

I would say more clarity on what documents are actually necessary. Some of the prompts are just for you to upgrade which makes it seem like it’s a requirement when it isn’t

### "Horrible FSA, love the payroll."

July 29, 2025

1.0

Up until the transition to Elevate and processing FSA by Gusto, everything was fine. For some reason, the team at Gusto doesn't get FSA.

Pros

Gusto as a payroll management software/app is very close to a four star. Cute, gets the job done well, nice emails letting you know you paycheck is coming and more. Very easy to use when considering JUST payroll.

Cons

When Gusto incorporated Elevate to run FSA, it has literally been a nightmare! It's so bad, we don't want to do FSA anymore! Literally, just this week, we had an issue with a credit card transaction denied from a pharmacy. When we checked with Gusto support (which can only be done by AI or via email if AI starts messing up), it was because a pharmacy was marked as a non-FSA entity. A pharmacy? It was such a mess that what was 100% automated by the doctor and pharmacy, the pharmacy couldn't undo the transaction and was going to send back the prescription. The family had to go in person to the pharmacy, use a different credit card and not be able to use their own FSA money. Then, in Gusto attempting to fix the bug had the audacity to ask for a receipt for the transaction. Really!! A receipt for a denied transaction. Before I would ever recommend that great payroll that Gusto has been, they need to either stop doing FSA all together or find a partner that does FSA well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear that you've found the payroll side of Gusto easy to use and reliable. At the same time, we're sorry to hear that your experience with the FSA through Elevate has been frustrating. What you described with the denied pharmacy transaction and the request for a receipt on a failed charge is not the experience we want anyone to have. We understand how important it is for benefits like FSAs to work smoothly, and we appreciate you highlighting where things went wrong. Your feedback is being shared with the appropriate teams so we can continue improving both the product and the support experience. We appreciate you choosing Gusto and hope we have the chance to serve you better moving forward. -Gusto Client Relations Team

### "Long time user of Gusto"

March 31, 2026

I've been using Gusto for over ten years, I can't imagine switching to another payroll processor. It just works.

Pros

Gusto is very easy to use, it makes payroll and onboarding a breeze. They also keep up to date and offer new products regularly.

Cons

What is there not to like? I guess once in a great while there is a glitch, but they are always quick to fix any issues

### "Gusto Missed Our Payday"

June 25, 2025

1.0

Poor. I expect so much more from such a prominent software. I also expect 24/7 human tech support when dealing with payroll for companies that have all sorts of hours of operation. We are restaurants and are operating non-stop in many ways.

Pros

Much better interface than Quickbooks. Attempts to integrate a hiring module that does present an easy, online application form.

Cons

1\. Gusto missed one of our paydays. Gusto withdrew the funds, and deposits did not arrive on the following day as promised. You can imagine the impact on our 45 employees and their level of trust in our company. Hours of corresponding with their support team both by chat and phone left no resolution. Gusto does not have a human support network for after 7pm CST. 2. User interface is clunky. They still have the "25 records" is the total records listed at the bottom of the page and you have to choose 50, or 100 every single time you want to see a whole list. 3. You cannot assign employees to multiple departments within the same location. 4. Alerts come up on the home screen and you cannot easily make them go away. 5. The hiring module does not have a way of managing one applicant who has applied for multiple jobs. The system sees it all as separate applicant records.

Hi Todd, My name is Chelsea, and I’m with Gusto’s Client Relations team. I saw the feedback you recently shared and want to sincerely apologize for the experience you had. We understand how serious it is to miss a payday, and I’m truly sorry for the stress this caused you and your team. I also appreciate you taking the time to outline the other pain points you encountered, from limited after-hours support to some of the platform’s design limitations. This is not the experience we want for any of our customers, and I’ve shared your comments with the appropriate teams to review further. I wasn’t able to locate your account with the information you provided in this review but if you’re open to it, we’d be glad to revisit what happened with the missed payroll and offer clarity where we can. We know you may be looking into other solutions, and we understand. That said, if you choose to continue the conversation, we’re here and ready to help however we can. Thank you again for your feedback.

### "Great App Design and Use, Support and Bugs Could Use Improvement"

April 9, 2026

5.0

When it comes to overall site and app navigation and experience, Gusto has been great. I've used Gusto in it's earlier stages when it offered an incentive for getting your paycheck deposited and allowed you to borrow before your next paycheck. With customer support experience, customer service could use some improvement.

Pros

What I like most about Gusto is how easy and simple it is to use! I actually have not had a bad experience with Gusto while using their platform. I like that it has it's own money account and it is separated from the rest of the other features. The app is very accessible and you do not get lost navigating it. Tax information and employment information can easily be found as well.

Cons

There are constant times where the app is down and it states that gusto is working to fix it. There has been times where it has been hours for you to be able to access your money and you cannot call to unlock your card with the customer service number. They direct you to use the site. Even when you want to dispute charges. When it comes to disputes, Gusto is the least helpful in that department. It doesn't seem like they actually investigate when your card is stolen.

### "Gusto is a great software! Highly Suggest! "

December 18, 2025

4.0

Overall, Gusto is an excellent resource for payroll, managing salaries, and tracking time off. We also find it very useful for hosting employee manuals, documents, and training modules. Our team completes their annual sexual harassment training through the platform, which is quick and engaging thanks to the interactive videos! We have been using Gusto for years and it has truly changed how we operate. While we have a relatively small team, I can imagine this software would be equally beneficial for a larger organization. Plus, the seasonal outfits on the loading page mascot (a cute little pig) are a delightful touch! We love it!

Pros

Gusto has significantly streamlined our payroll and time tracking. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to monitor employee hours and resolve issues efficiently. The location tracking feature is particularly helpful, as it allows employees to manually clock in, clock out, and take breaks within our building's geofence all from their phones!

Cons

The user interface for employees can be somewhat clunky at times. They have reported long loading periods when attempting to clock in or out, and there are occasional issues with the location \[tracking/accuracy\].

### "Tracking hours with ease"

December 6, 2025

5.0

Overall I found it easy to enter and keep track of my hours each day and week. If I ever add employees and grow the size of my business, I will use Gusto for all of my payroll needs.

Pros

As an employee with the employer implementing Gusto as our way to clock hours and bill labor, I found it pretty simple and straightforward, with full transparency as far as being able to view accrued hours, break time etc.

Cons

The third party accountant was based in India and would call me at odd or inopportune times to verify my hours before submitting payroll. I'm not sure if this was my employer's decision or if it comes standard as part of Gusto's service, so that might not even have been Gusto's fault.

Review Source

Response from Gusto

December 9, 2025

Hi Ryan, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and for the incredible 10/10 recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that tracking your hours in Gusto has been simple and transparent — that’s exactly what we aim for. It’s great to know the ability to view your breaks, accrued hours, and daily totals has been helpful in your workflow. I also want to clarify the concern you mentioned about receiving calls from a third-party accountant. Gusto does not outsource payroll verification to external accountants or require employees to confirm hours by phone. Those decisions are made by each individual employer, so it sounds like that part of the experience was handled outside of Gusto’s process. Still, we really appreciate you flagging it — feedback like this helps us understand where confusion may arise. We’re grateful for your kind words, and it means a lot that you’d choose Gusto again as your own business grows. We’d be honored to support you and your future team.

Pros

March 4, 2026

3.0

Pros

Being in HR, using a platform like Gusto was very helpful as everything is one place. I found it quite easy to process payroll and onboard new employees. I only have 3 locations that I had to cover but it made it easy to switch between different locations. As well as offering the different ways to label the employees and make sure the correct tax documents were associated with the correct person.

Cons

I felt as though anytime I needed something through customer support, it would be someone who does not truly understand the situation or they did not speak english. I had no issues with time management and getting them on the phones as they would call right away but even with that, sometimes I did not get my issues resolved

It’s not “intelligent”. You have to insert everything, everytime. The app does not “learn” your habits to enter information automatically.

5.0

I overall loved gusto and being able to access my 401k on there! Overall the account management was easy to use as well as accessing data on Gusto.

Pros

I loved being able to access my 401k and see my monthly payment breakdowns! It was easy to use and as an employee it was easy to read.

Cons

I dont think there was anything in my time using gusto that was bad. There were no bugs or issues that occur when I was using the app!
