Gusto is best-in-class — for US payroll. Peoplifi handles Pakistan, Gulf, and multi-currency teams Gusto cannot serve.
If your entire team is US-based, stay with Gusto. The moment you have employees outside the US, Peoplifi handles what Gusto cannot — at similar or lower cost.
Gusto is the dominant US small-business payroll provider, with excellent UX, benefits marketplace, and 1099 contractor support. It is a US-only product: no Pakistan, no Gulf, no multi-currency.
Simple: $40/mo base + $6 per employee. Plus: $80/mo base + $12/employee. Premium: $180/mo base + $22/employee. US only.
$3 per seat per month (Starter, includes global payroll). PKR 840 in Pakistan. No per-month base fee.
US-only SMBs under 100 employees with full-time US staff and US benefits.
Pakistan-based SMBs, international tech companies, agencies hiring globally, and any team with non-US payroll needs.
For small US teams, yes. For teams with complex US benefits or multi-state filings, most customers keep Gusto for US employees and use Peoplifi for everyone else via our Gusto integration.
Peoplifi generates W-2 and 1099-ready data but relies on partner integrations for actual IRS filing. Gusto filings remain the gold standard for US-only compliance.
Yes. Peoplifi generates Rule 44 monthly statements and Section 149 annual statements in IRIS-ready format. We are used by 500+ Pakistan businesses.
