"it pulled two months of benefit premiums and then wouldn't change my processing time back. After SEVEN different people "helping" and "responding" to my issue, I switched. While I like their feature set, its not worth the massive headache that comes when any little thing goes wrong- steer clear!!!"

### "Great for small teams"

March 26, 2026

4.0

Highly rated by small teams for its simplicity and automation, though it feels limited as businesses grow or require complex HR workflows.

Pros

Gusto excels at automated payroll, tax filing, employee self-service, benefits administration, and smooth onboarding, ideal for small businesses.

Cons

Slow support, rising per-employee costs, limited customization, weaker mobile app, and advanced features locked behind higher-tier plans.

### "Success With Gusto"

April 17, 2026

5.0

Gusto has been a sigh of relief, making managing my team easier than ever. The ability to upload updates to policies and procedures and have them signed on off has taken the leg work out of making changes.

Pros

The ability to easily upload documents for employees to sign. The ability to easily approve and deny paid time off requests. To ability to manage employee hours & pay, has helped streamline and manage many aspects for our small business.

Cons

I am not a fan of the inability to submit time off requests if hours are not in the bank. At my business we utilize time off accrual and if the hours are not there even if they will be at the time for the request it will not allow you to request that time.

### "Gusto: Easy, Affordable, but Not Perfect"

January 16, 2026

3.0

Gusto is affordable, easy to integrate, and employee-friendly, which makes it a strong choice for many businesses. However, some workflow and tax-related issues could definitely be improved to make the experience smoother for administrators.

Pros

Gusto integrates easily with other systems we use, which saves time and reduces manual work. The employee app is very convenient—our team finds it simple to access pay stubs, tax documents, and personal information right from their phones. It’s also very affordable compared to many other payroll services, especially for small to mid-sized businesses, and offers good value for what you get.

Cons

One major frustration is that when an employee is rehired, Gusto does not reset their settings. This can cause confusion and extra manual cleanup. We’ve also had ongoing issues with city tax handling, which has required additional monitoring to make sure everything is correct. Another small but annoying usability issue is that when you tab to the next employee, it doesn’t stay in the same section you were working in—you have to keep navigating back to where you were, which slows things down.

### "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.

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

### "Gusto for the win!"

April 22, 2026

4.0

Overall, I had a great experience using the Gusto payroll system. It served as a highly effective employee tool for time management, payroll modifications, and tracking the time clock. Additionally, it was invaluable for resolving tax-related issues and ensuring compliance. All in all, it was a reliable and user-friendly platform for managing my employment needs.

Pros

Gusto stands out as a premier payroll service primarily due to its exceptional user interface. The mobile app is thoughtfully designed, offering a level of autonomy that is rare in HR software. I particularly appreciate being able to manage time-off requests and make real-time account adjustments directly from my phone. The integration between the app and the desktop version makes the login and navigation process feel completely seamless, which significantly reduces the administrative burden of managing my employment details.

Cons

Difficulty Reaching a Human: While the help center is extensive, many users report that during high-stress times (like year-end tax filing), getting a live representative on the phone or chat can take a long time.

### "Mucho gusto, Gusto!"

April 17, 2026

5.0

It is incredibly easy to use, and I can use it for myself and for our team. The functionality in our office and on their phones is great!

Pros

I appreciate that all of the information that I need is included in this application and provides a menu where I can access my personal information and easily transition to what I need as a leader.

Cons

The enhanced authentication features. There are times when it requires a code that is sent to me via text or my personal email. I cannot always access my personal email while working.

### "This little piggie is fun, but needs some processing umpf. "

April 27, 2026

4.0

Pros

The interface of Gusto is attractive, simple and user-friendly. It keeps track of your time, pay-periods and take home pay well, letting you know when to anticipate pay days.

Cons

At times, the app can feel slow or experience errors. While I love the trotting pig, it feels like a bit of a wheel-of-doom and I find myself needing to close out and re-open the app. The other issue I have is with the time-off feature. It doesn't always load, so you need to close + reopen, and then when submitting the time it can revert from "PTO" to "Sick Leave" without you noticing until it's been submitted.

### "Effortless Payroll and HR Made Easy"

April 10, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Gusto has been positive. The platform is easy to use and does a great job simplifying payroll and HR tasks that can otherwise be time-consuming and complicated. I especially appreciated the automation features, which made processes like tax filings and employee payments much more efficient. While there are some limitations with customization and pricing for more advanced features, the convenience and reliability of the system make it a strong option for small to mid-sized businesses.

Pros

What I liked most about Gusto was how user-friendly and intuitive the platform is. Everything from running payroll to managing employee information is clearly organized, which makes it easy to navigate even without much prior experience. I also appreciated how automated many processes are, like tax calculations and filings, which saves a lot of time and reduces the risk of errors. Overall, it simplifies complex HR and payroll tasks in a way that feels efficient and stress-free.

Cons

What I liked least about Gusto is that some of its features can feel limited, especially for more complex business needs. While it works well for basic payroll and HR tasks, customization options aren’t as flexible as they could be.

### "A Nonprofit’s Dream: Payroll and HR Made Simple"

April 2, 2026

5.0

Unlike other platforms that require a week of setup, Gusto was easy to dive into immediately. It’s the most user-friendly HR and payroll tool I’ve encountered. It has streamlined our nonprofit's workflow perfectly, making it easy to manage a mixed team of staff and contractors without any of the usual headaches

Pros

Everything. Gusto has made life as a small nonprofit manageable in so many ways. From onboarding contractors and staff to seamless time-tracking, it has turned what used to be a massive administrative burden into a simple, automated process.

Cons

Honestly, I can’t think of a single thing I dislike about Gusto. It has met every need our nonprofit has without any of the typical software headaches.

Pros

It is definitely a product that provides good value for the money. I've been using it for a couple of years now and it works great. They provide regular updates and keep you informed as to when things need to be done.

### "Great payroll system for small businesses and nonprofits"

January 5, 2026

5.0

We have been using Gusto for payroll for several years now and it has made our payroll process very easy. We are a small nonprofit with only a handful of paid employees, but they work from home in multiple states and Gusto made that all simple to setup and manage.

Pros

Gusto is straightforward and easy to set up, provides simple-to-use tools for running payroll, and is one of the least expensive solutions available to small businesses.

Cons

It was tricky to get Gusto fully integrated with our preferred timekeeping system. Additionally, user roles and permissions cannot be customized, so you must choose from a small set of pre-configured roles - but these were sufficient for our use.

### "Great payroll & benefits management platform"

October 31, 2025

5.0

Overall, it's a great platform to manage payroll and benefits, although sometimes prices seem a bit high for the quality of providers/carriers.

Pros

Good employee management and benefits management, although the offer of carriers is not as wide as other providers/brokers. It's easy to use although sometimes it takes longer to load and continue to next sections, but overall it's great for small businesses and start-up. It also provides an extensive and descriptive way to manage users and permissions.

Cons

Customer support is good but sometimes it takes too long to solve an issue because I keep on getting redirected to a new 'specialist' on the topic.

### "Gusto, the platform for all!"

November 21, 2025

4.0

I'd recommend Gusto to even the smallest of businesses. It simplifies Payroll and Human Resources, it bundles a lot of useful tools such as onboarding, and its scalable.

Pros

Gusto is relativley easy to use. Its intuitive interface is very user friendly granting forward access to setting up and managing payroll, onboarding, and benefits.

Cons

Customer support with Gusto can be slow and sometimes not helpful. The mobile app is also not very inclusive, you have to log in on a web based computer to effectively manage.

### "Gusto is for Small Businesses"

June 20, 2025

3.0

It's a 75% application. It's 75% great, but there are few issues that could be resolved to make it a 100% great application. It's worth the money for a smaller business, but for larger enterprises, there are better solutions.

Pros

Ease of use. From a user perspective it is convenient with a very simple UI. Navigation is intuitive and provides an excellent user experience. The mobile app provides a very similar UX.

Cons

The only part of the UI that doesn't make a lot of sense is the time edit save processes. When time is edited with a note added, the user can't hit "Enter" to save the record update. In fact, clicking "Enter" will close the window without the update. In most applications "Enter" will result in the submission.

### "Excellent, user-friendly solution for all your HR needs"

August 5, 2025

5.0

All in all, Gusto is an excellent platform for small businesses and could likely be scaled for larger businesses as well. It is a modern, user-friendly HR solution that I'd recommend to anybody.

Pros

Gusto, as a user, is incredibly simple to use and navigate. All the tools it has for employee management are easily understood and it makes managing HR responsibilities for our small team a breeze. The ability to access everything on mobile allows for quick uses.

Cons

The time-off features work really well, but could be a little more robust. It would especially nice if there was a more detailed view of the calendar for the whole team with all the time-off visible.

5.0

Gusto is a user friendly platform for payroll and works great for small businesses and non profit organizations. Its easy to run payroll, employee onboarding, compliance and automates tax filings.

Pros

Gusto is easy to use, and have customer support that respond rather quickly. It provides great help to small business management that do not want to invest a lot of money to do their payroll. It makes employee management smooth as it can separate regular employees to independent contractors.

Cons

It is not applicable here as Gusto assisted for what we needed as a company. Gusto does a great job.

I really am liking Gusto. I will say, when your boss doesn't order the write check stock, it makes printing checks a challenge, but I have a work around, so it all worked out!

Pros

I really adore being able to test the product before paying for something you may struggle with. The Customer Serivces is so incredible for the most part. Once you spend time with Gusto, the ease of use is amazing!

Cons

Asking a question and instead of the customer service rep referring you to someone with the experience, they just repeat your question, twice. I shouldn't have to request to be transferred, the person who didn't know should learn and initiate connecting you to someone with the correct experience to answer the question propsed.

### "Straight and to the point payroll for your business!"

May 16, 2025

4.0

It was a solid experience. Minimal issues, though at times, some features to be desired,

Pros

It's simplistic - which makes it simple especially for ICA. The straightforwardness of the platform allows for basic functionality for payroll without the bells and whistles that oftentimes gets confusing on previous platforms that were used in the 90's and 00's

Cons

With it being simplistic, there are some features, especially for organizational purposes that would be helpful. Also an API with Google Drive would be an amazing feature to have in my opinion.

I like that Gusto is an easy platform to understand. The convenience of seeing your paycheck in a timely manner.

Cons

There wasn't anything specific that i did not like about Gusto. Gusto is interactive and makes it easy to see your earnings
