EnglishWhere to Find Gusto Pricing and How to Get Started
Updated
Gusto's pricing information lives on its own dedicated page at gusto.com/product/pricing, and you can start using the platform by creating a free account from the homepage. The site itself doesn't display specific plan prices or tiers in the material available here, so the pricing page is the place to check for current numbers. What follows covers what the homepage does show, how to navigate to the pricing details, and what to expect as you get started.
Where Gusto's Pricing Lives
The homepage links to a pricing page under the path /product/pricing. That's the canonical destination for plan and cost information. Because the homepage content doesn't list actual dollar figures, plan names, or tier comparisons, treat the pricing page as the single source of truth rather than inferring costs from marketing copy.
One practical note: the presence of a pricing link doesn't tell you whether plans are free, paid, or gated behind a trial. The homepage does mention creating a "free account," but that refers to account creation, not necessarily to free ongoing use of payroll or HR features. Check the pricing page directly for what each plan includes and costs.
What the Homepage Tells You
The homepage is organized around a few clear capability areas, each with its own "Discover" or "See" link that leads deeper into the product:
| Area | What the homepage claims | Where it leads |
|---|---|---|
| Payroll | "Run payroll in five minutes flat," with an AutoPilot option to run it automatically; taxes filed and compliance handled | Discover payroll |
| Time tracking | Automatically calculates and syncs hours, PTO, and holidays with payroll | Discover time tools |
| Solo / S Corp | Support for solopreneurs managing S Corp compliance and reasonable salary | Discover Gusto Solo |
| Onboarding | Custom offer letters, onboarding checklists, digital signatures | See onboarding tools |
| Benefits | Health, dental, 401k, and other financial and health benefits | Explore benefits options |
| Compliance | Required trainings, policies, and benefits handled for you | See compliance tools |
The homepage also states that "500,000+ businesses run on Gusto," which is a scale signal rather than a pricing or feature detail.
How to Get Started
- Create a free account. The homepage presents "Create free account" as the primary call to action. This is the entry point for exploring the product.
- Review pricing before committing. Go to the pricing page to see which plan matches your situation — a solo operator, a small team with hourly and salaried staff, or a growing company hiring contractors.
- Explore the module you need first. If payroll is your priority, follow "Discover payroll." If you're hiring, start with the onboarding tools. Each section links to a focused product page so you don't have to evaluate everything at once.
- Check the fit for your team type. The homepage explicitly addresses hourly, salary, contractor, and overtime pay, plus a separate track for S Corp solopreneurs. Match your situation to the relevant section before signing up.
Common Questions Before You Start
Does "free account" mean free payroll? Not necessarily. The homepage promotes creating a free account, but pricing details aren't shown there. Confirm what's included at each price point on the pricing page.
Can I run payroll automatically? Yes — the homepage describes an AutoPilot feature that can run payroll for you, in addition to manual runs that take about five minutes.
Does Gusto handle tax filing? The homepage states that Gusto files taxes, helps with compliance, and identifies tax credits. Specifics of what's covered per plan should be verified on the pricing page.
Is there support for a one-person business? Yes — there's a dedicated "Gusto Solo" track aimed at solopreneurs, including S Corp compliance guidance.
What to Do Next
Start at the pricing page to get the numbers, then create a free account to explore the modules that match your needs. If you're unsure which plan fits, the homepage's section-by-section breakdown — payroll, time tools, onboarding, benefits, compliance — gives you a checklist to compare against what each plan offers.
