We list providers by state
Payroll rules change from state to state. Listings are organised so you can see providers that handle the taxes, filings, and compliance where your team actually works.
About PayrollModo
A clearer way to find a payroll service you can trust.
PayrollModo lists verified payroll service providers in every state and connects businesses with the ones that fit how they actually work. Every listing is checked, every rating is ours, and comparing costs you nothing.
What we do
Built around one decision
Choosing who runs your payroll is a decision you make rarely and live with daily. PayrollModo is built around that single choice.
We verify before we list
A Verified badge means we have confirmed the provider is a real, operating payroll service and that the details on their listing are accurate.
We make them comparable
Ratings, badges, and plain descriptions of what each provider handles, so the real differences show up next to each other instead of buried in sales pages.
Why we built it
Payroll shopping is harder than it should be
Ask three payroll companies what they charge and you may get three sales calls instead of three numbers. Feature lists read almost identically. Pricing hides behind a demo. And the parts that decide whether a provider fits you, like which states they file in, whether you get a named contact, or what happens at year end, are usually the hardest details to find.
The information you need to choose well should be visible before you speak to anyone.
PayrollModo exists to put that information in one place. We confirm that listed providers are real and operating, describe what each one handles in plain language, and apply the same rating and badge standards to every listing. Then we get out of the way: you shortlist who fits, and request quotes from participating providers when you are ready. Comparing is free, and there is no obligation to switch.
What we hold to
The rules we work by
These are the commitments behind every listing on the site.
-
Verification comes first
A provider earns its listing by being a real, operating payroll service with accurate listing details, not by asking for one.
-
Ratings cannot be bought
The PayrollModo Rating is our own assessment. Providers cannot pay to raise their rating or to earn a badge they do not qualify for.
-
Plain language, always
What a provider handles is written so you can judge fit quickly, without decoding feature tables or sitting through a demo first.
-
Standards stay current
Badges are reviewed periodically. If a provider no longer qualifies for one, it is removed from their listing.
How we assess providers
The rating and the badges
Every provider listed carries a PayrollModo Rating and any badges they qualify for, so you can judge fit before you request an estimate.
We confirm the basics
Before a listing goes live we check that the provider is a real, operating payroll service and that what their listing claims matches what they do.
We apply one standard
Badges such as Multi-State Payroll, SOC 2 Certified, Transparent Pricing, and Named Account Manager are awarded on the same criteria for every provider.
We keep listings honest
Listings and badges are reviewed periodically, and anything a provider no longer qualifies for comes off their listing.
