Paychex is a solid pick if you want a full-service payroll and HR solution that can grow with your business without switching platforms.
The biggest upside is that it handles everything from payroll taxes to benefits administration in one place, but the pricing isn't transparent upfront and small teams often pay for features they don't need. If you have fewer than 10 employees and just need basic payroll, cheaper options like Gusto might save you money.

Paychex sells Basic, Foundations, Advanced and Complete payroll packages built for small businesses, including a one-employee option, but pricing comes only through a quote request.
