I am not a business with employees owner yet, but for me their pricing does not look bad assuming it saves quite a lot of time. Spending ~$5 per employee a month will be something like 0.1% or even less of their salary. Even if you have 2 employees, it is still $35/month which might be something like may be 0.3% of their salary?
Am I missing something?

I have been watching this startup closely since this industry does need to be disrupted. But maybe their pricing should be a little more disruptive. This would cost us exactly the same as ADP (our current and terrible provider).
Oh and congrats on the round. $6MM and not having a board is a dangerous combination... In a good way.
Thanks! If you don't mind sharing, what are you paying for payroll through ADP? ZenPayroll is just $25/month + $5/employee/month, and only $1/employee/month for each employee after your first 10. Everything is included in this price.
From talking with our current customers who've used ADB, we understand that ADP can get pretty expensive, especially when you add all the miscellaneous costs they tack on.

BTW, I just realized that TechCrunch incorrectly listed our prices initially. They've since updated the post to reflect the actual cost. Our goal is to be competitive on price and significantly less expensive than ADP and Paychex. You can view our full pricing at zenpayroll.com/#pricing
Oops, I meant $4/employee/month for the first 10 employes (not $5)
If ZenPayroll isn't more expensive than ADP and isn't as terrible as ADP, why not move?
Excited to see something like this. I've been going through the pain of setting up payroll for the first time and couldn't believe there wasn't a company providing quality services for such a necessary service sector.
After going through some of the threads on HN I decided to use BOA -- which is essentially Intuit -- and although it was a pain to setup, it does seem to be working. (Total cost: $30/month)
However, the Wave Accounting team reached out to me recently to let me know that they'll begin a full service payroll SAAS in January with pricing at $5/person. You can bet I'll be trying it out.
Sadly we're too small for ZenPayroll's pricing to make sense at this time.
