Why contractors want an LCPtracker alternative

LCPtracker was built to monitor contractors. Ours is built for them.

Built for the wrong user

LCPtracker was designed so primes and agencies could monitor subs. If you ARE the sub, you're using a tool built to watch you.

UI from another decade

Contractors tell us over and over: it's clunky. We built ours to feel like the tools you use in your personal life, not a 2005 government form.

Can't find the price

Quoted per agency, per project. Ours is on the website: $49, $99, or $249/mo. Pick one.

No AI helping you

Compliance checks catch pay below the linked rate and form gaps before you certify; Lydia, our AI assistant, explains each one.

Data entry that drags

Typing a week of payroll into LCPtracker takes forever. We import from ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, and 9 more payroll systems.

No free wage lookup

LCPtracker doesn't give you free SAM.gov wage lookup. We do. No account required.

LCPtracker Alternative FAQ

Why do contractors choose an LCPtracker alternative?▾

LCPtracker was built for agencies and primes watching their subs, not for the subs themselves. We built ours for the contractor doing the filing, not the agency auditing them.

Is CertifiedPayrollPro accepted where LCPtracker is required?▾

If the awarding body requires LCPtracker specifically, you still have to submit through their portal. But you can prep your WH-347 and state reports here (faster, cleaner), then export and upload to LCPtracker. A lot of contractors use us as the prep layer on top of LCPtracker.

How does the pricing compare?▾

LCPtracker quotes case-by-case, often $200+/month plus per-sub fees. Ours is on the pricing page: $49, $99, or $249/month, with no per-report fees. No hidden fees.

Does CertifiedPayrollPro have a subcontractor portal?▾

No. Subcontractors are records in your account: their license and insurance documents, with alerts before they expire. There is no sub login and no automatic reminder to subs.

Can I import historical data from LCPtracker?▾

Yep. Export workers, projects, and payroll history from LCPtracker as CSV and import them here. Columns are mapped from the headers.

Is there a free trial?▾

Your first 3 reports are free, with full Pro features and no credit card. When you pick a plan, your first one starts with 14 free days; checkout asks for a card. Cancel whenever.

Do I need IT help to set up CertifiedPayrollPro?▾

No. It's a web app. Sign up, add a project, file. Nothing to install, no IT person needed.

What happens if I cancel?▾

Cancel anytime from your billing settings. Your data exports free in CSV/PDF format. No clawbacks, no penalty fees, no 'talk to sales' hoops.
