PenSoft Payroll Solutions Reviews

PenSoft Payroll Solutions by Peninsula Software of Virginia develops, produces, supports, and distributes payroll software for small to mid-sized businesses. Even though PenSoft Payroll is sophisticated and packed with features, it is easy enough for novices to use.

Review:

PenSoft Payroll Solutions lacks features like multi-state coverage and automatic payments. It's also missing common features like workers' compensation, flexible and multiple pay schedules, garnishments, integrated pre-tax benefits, reimbursements, accounting integrations, paperless employee onboarding, an employee database, and overtime tracking.

Clients will enjoy some unique features like exporting payroll data as a spreadsheet or plain text, chat support, and data migration. Pricing begins at $269.00 per year, while closely-ranked software ezPaycheck and PayWindow Payroll begin at $99.00 per year per installation and $89.95 per year, respectively. ezPaycheck also offers more features than PenSoft Payroll Solutions, like workers' compensation, multi-state coverage, flexible payment schedules, and accounting integrations, to name a few.

Our top-rated software solutions, Gusto and Zenefits, charge $39.00 (base fee) plus $6.00 per employee per month, and $10.00 plus $6.00 per employee per month, respectively. PenSoft Payroll is a cheaper solution, but offers far fewer services in comparison.

Overall, PenSoft Payroll Solutions is missing a few of the basic features some businesses may need. Their services are adequate, but a cheaper service like ezPaycheck provides more features at a lower fee.
