Frequently asked questions
What counts as a review session?
A review session is created each time you upload a baseline and current payroll file for comparison. Each comparison counts as one session, regardless of how many employees are in the file.
Do both plans include a free trial?
Yes. Both Starter and Pro include a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required to start.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to the new features. When downgrading, the change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
What is the difference between Starter and Pro?
Starter supports up to 100 employees with 16 core detection rules and template CSV format. Pro adds unlimited employees, 54 advanced rules, flexible CSV import with AI-powered column mapping, and multi-organization support.
How does annual billing work?
Annual plans are billed once per year at a 20% discount compared to monthly billing. You can cancel at any time but refunds are not issued for the remaining term.
One payroll mistake could cost thousands. How does pricing compare?
A single undetected payroll error — an overpayment, a missed deduction, a compliance fine — can easily cost $5,000 to $50,000+. PayrollShield pays for itself the first time it catches a material error before it reaches employees.
