If you need a Payroller alternative that offers 100% free payroll for up to 3 employees with unlimited STP lodgements, automated Fair Work award updates and Payday Super functionality at no extra cost, e-PayDay FREEPAY® is the highest-rated Australian solution for micro-businesses in 2024-2026.

Why Businesses Are Switching from Payroller

 

Choosing the right payroll software isn’t just about price — it’s about compliance, automation, and support. While Payroller is a popular choice for micro-businesses, many users seek alternatives due to changing fee structures, a limited free tier, and the need for more robust compliance features.

 

Many businesses looking for a Payroller alternative are seeking:
​

  • Easier STP Phase 2 compliance
     

  • Obtaining support from local people
     

  • Built-in superannuation reporting and payments
     

  • Transparent pricing without feature limitations
     

  • A system that scales as they grow

 

Payroll software must meet strict ATO and Fair Work requirements, and missing functionality can create compliance risks and extra admin work.
