Gusto runs payroll well, but it is priced as a base fee plus a charge for every employee, every month — and it only covers HR and payroll. Mewayz includes payroll and HR in a flat fee, connected to the accounting and projects those paychecks actually come from.
Every hire adds a recurring per-person charge on top of the monthly base. Headcount growth quietly compounds your bill.
Gusto is a focused people platform. Accounting, invoicing, CRM, and projects are entirely separate purchases.
Wages have to flow into your accounting through an integration you set up and maintain — one more connector that can break at month-end.
Keep compliant payroll and onboarding. Lose the per-head meter, and put it next to your books.

Import your team, pay rates, and time-off balances. Onboarding details carry over so the first run is clean.
Pay your team from the same records as your accounting — wages post to the books with no sync to babysit.
CRM, invoicing, and projects are already there as modules, so your people data sits beside the work it pays for.
Mewayz includes payroll, employee records, time-off, and onboarding. Tax-filing automation depends on your region — check the docs or ask sales for your country before switching.
No. Payroll and HR are part of the flat platform fee, so adding employees does not increase what you pay for the software.
Yes — wages post straight to the same books, so there is no separate sync between payroll and your accounting tool.
Bring your employees across, run payroll connected to your books, and stop paying per head for software.
