Payroll: YourLegal vs. Stripe Atlas
Hiring employees requires a compliant payroll system. See how our managed service compares to a formation-only platform.
The Core Difference: Managed Service vs. Referral
When it comes to payroll, the difference is clear: **Stripe Atlas refers, YourLegal manages.** After forming your company, Stripe Atlas leaves you with the task of finding, selecting, and integrating a payroll provider on your own. This adds another vendor to manage and another system to learn.
**YourLegal offers a fully managed payroll service.** We partner with best-in-class providers like Gusto and handle the entire setup, state registration, and onboarding process for you. Your payroll is managed directly within our integrated platform, simplifying your operations and ensuring compliance.
| Feature | Stripe Atlas | YourLegal |
|---|---|---|
| Payroll Service | Referrals to third-party providers | Managed Service Included |
| Provider | You choose and manage | We manage leading providers like Gusto |
| Integration | Requires separate setup and management | Integrated with our accounting and compliance platform |
