Same complaints, every time: $1,500+ setup fees, 2-4 weeks of onboarding before you can file a single report, $175+/month after that, a mandatory sales call, and no AI backup when you're stuck on a classification at 9pm. Contractors want something they can use today, not in a month.
We're $49/mo, zero setup. Points North runs $175+/mo plus $1,500+ to get in the door. Most contractors save 60-70% in year one.
Not really. Export your workers, projects, and payroll history from Points North as CSV, import into CertifiedPayrollPro. Columns are mapped from the headers; how long it takes depends on how many payroll periods you bring over.
Yep. We build the official DOL WH-347 PDF, same layout, same compliance. Every federal contracting agency takes it. Your CO won't know or care that you switched.
Nope. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in an annual contract.
Workers and payroll come in from CSV files at no extra charge. If a file will not import, write to support and a person will look at it with you. On Pro and Enterprise, Lydia answers questions at any hour.
Yes, and honestly, do this. Start free (your first 3 reports are on us) and run next week's payroll through both. See for yourself which one's easier. Most contractors decide on the first report.
Cancel anytime from your billing settings. Your data exports free in CSV/PDF format. No clawbacks, no penalty fees, no 'talk to sales' hoops.
