How to choose the right tool
Ask yourself:
- Do I need just payroll, or payroll plus broader HR?
- How many employees do I have now – and expect in the next 1–3 years?
- Do I need local tax and compliance handling, or will a more generic system work?
- How important are self-service portals for payslips, leave and details?
Use this page to shortlist a few tools, then click through to compare pricing, compliance support and integrations before you decide.
