SurePayroll
SurePayroll provides online payroll for small businesses, solopreneurs and households through web access and Android and iOS apps.

Employers can submit and approve payroll from the mobile app, while employees can view pay stubs and W-2 information. Reports and paystubs are available 24/7. SurePayroll prepares and files W-2 and 1099-NEC forms for a $50 annual base fee plus $5 per form. Accounting integration costs $4.99 a month, and timeclock options start at $5 a month plus $3. No Tax Filing costs $20 a month plus $4 per employee; Full Service costs $29 a month plus $7 per employee.
