Mewayz vs Gusto
HR and payroll without the per-head bill
Gusto charges $200+/mo for HR & payroll alone. Mewayz starts at $69/mo and covers hr & payroll, plus accounting, projects, support, and more.
The problem
Why teams leave Gusto
23% price increase in March 2026 — per-employee fees now $12/head
Gusto raised prices 23% in March 2026. The Plus plan (the minimum for most growing teams) now costs $80/mo + $12/employee. A 10-person team pays $200+/mo. Every hire adds another $12 per month — forever.
Payroll only — you still need 3 other tools
Gusto handles payroll and onboarding well. But it has no CRM, no project management, no invoicing. You're still paying 3–4 other subscriptions on top — while your Gusto bill just went up 23%.
International payroll needs an expensive add-on
Multi-currency and global payroll require costly upgrades not included in the base product — a problem for any team with remote international staff.

Common questions
Mewayz vs Gusto — FAQ
Does Mewayz handle full payroll like Gusto?
Mewayz HR handles compensation, salary structures, attendance, leave, and onboarding. For US tax filing and direct deposit specifically, Mewayz integrates with regional payroll partners. For most non-US markets, payroll runs natively inside Mewayz with no add-ons.
How does Mewayz beat Gusto's per-employee pricing?
Mewayz uses flat plan pricing — Starter ($69), Business ($149), Agency ($349). A 10-person team pays the same as a 2-person team. Gusto charges $80/mo + $12/employee on Plus, so 10 employees = $200/mo and growing.
Can I run accounting and HR from the same place?
Yes — that's the core of Mewayz. Employees in HR are the same records used in accounting (salary expenses), CRM (sales team), and projects (assignees). One database, zero CSV exports.
What about benefits administration?
Mewayz HR tracks benefits, allowances, deductions, and reimbursements. For health insurance broker integration (a key Gusto US feature), most teams pair Mewayz with their existing broker — costing far less than Gusto's all-in price.
