Which payroll tools offer annual discounts?

Several payroll platforms offer discounts when you pay annually rather than monthly. Based on current US pricing information for November 2026, these are the strongest options I found. Payroll tools with annual discounts Payroll provider Annual discount Pricing details ------------------------ Zoho Payroll (~25% savings) Standard: $39 → $29/month QuickBooks Payroll (10% off) Advertises 10% off annual pricing Homebase (20% savings) Some plans: $30 → $24/month Payroll Beacon (Save $79.88/year)…

1. Zoho — Zoho Payroll – strongest clearly documented annual discount.
2. QuickBooks Payroll — QuickBooks Payroll – worth comparing if you already use QuickBooks accounting.
3. Homebase — Homebase – attractive annual savings if you also need scheduling and workforce management.
4. Patriot Software — Patriot Payroll: 30-day free trial plus 50% off for three months.
5. ADP RUN — ADP RUN: Advertises up to six months of free payroll.
6. Gusto — Gusto: Offers promotional and partner discounts, but its standard pricing page doesn't clearly advertise an annual billing discount.
