Check out Gusto's Drawbacks directly from its users

What do you dislike about Gusto?

Gusto was completely absent when I tried to upgrade my benefits package. It seems simple - "I would like to add dental and vision to our existing healthcare package. Please provide pricing." The first customer service rep could not help me when I called.

Javier C

Small- Business Owner

Experience responsive and dedicated customer service with Gloroots.

What do you dislike about Gusto?

As we started hiring employees that is when Gusto started to show problems. One pay cycle our employees were paid 3 days late, despite receiving an email a week earlier that they would be paid on time.

Terry C

CEO

Computer & Network Security

Expand your team through robust, scalable payroll solutions with Gloroots.

What do you dislike about Gusto?

I have filled out 2 forms and answered an email they sent me for additional questions, and after a few follow-ups, I never heard from them. Then I called their sales team and they said that my information got lost but set up a demo that never happened.

Ask 4 Questions Before You Choose  a Global EOR Solution

Is the pricing structure complex?

Understand the EOR’s pricing structure to ensure it fits your budget.

Gloroots offers transparent, simple, and affordable pricing. You can hire unlimited contractors at $29/contractor/month and employees at $299/employee/month.

Deel has a simple but expensive pricing structure that may not be a good fit for SMEs.

Is my data safe with the service provider?

Data security is often compromised when working with third-party service providers. Gloroots ensure 100% IP protection. We are GDPR compliant and have the highest security policies in place.

Does the service provider maintain transparency?

Without clear visibility, it is difficult for businesses to know how the service provider uses their resources.

Gloroots gives you complete visibility of your resource usage and liabilities. We send monthly reports stating the FX rates, tax deductions, social security liabilities, and a detailed EOR fee breakdown.

Is the payroll system flexible and simple?

A seamless payroll system ensures timely payments to your workforce. With Gloroots’ single-click payroll system, your workforce will be paid on time in their home currencies. Moreover, you can pay us in a single transaction via cards, ACH, wire, or Crypto.

Deel’s payroll system still requires improvement since clients often face frequent changes in payment dates.
