Managed Payroll vs. SurePayroll
SurePayroll built its name on affordable self-service payroll for small businesses, with a higher Full Service tier for companies that want more done for them. BEG delivers fully managed payroll at $25-$45 PEPM, all-inclusive, no tier upgrade required.

Why Buyers Leave SurePayroll
The base SurePayroll plan is self-service, meaning your team still runs and approves every payroll cycle. Getting more done for you requires stepping up to the pricier Full Service tier.
Tax filing accuracy guarantees and premium support are typically reserved for the higher tier. On the base plan, you carry more of the risk if something is filed late or incorrectly.
SurePayroll is built for small businesses with straightforward needs. As you add employees, states, or complexity, you may find yourself needing more hands-on management than the platform was designed to give.
Side by Side
| Factor | BEG Managed Payroll | SurePayroll |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost (50 employees) | $1,250-$2,250 all-in | $1,000-$3,000+ depending on tier |
| Who runs payroll | BEG: fully managed | You, unless on Full Service tier |
| Hidden fees | None -- one flat PEPM | Tier upgrade needed for full service |
| Migration required | No -- works in your system or isolved | Already set up in SurePayroll |
| Ideal company size | Growing companies, 10-500 employees | Very small, simple payrolls |
| Dedicated contact | Yes -- one BEG specialist | Tier-dependent support level |
The BEG Difference
Common objection: "We would need to upgrade to SurePayroll Full Service to get this kind of support."
There is no upgrade path or tier decision with BEG. Every client gets a fully managed payroll function from day one: processing, filings, W-2s, garnishments, and compliance monitoring, all handled by a dedicated specialist for $25-$45 PEPM.
Common objection: "We do not want to migrate off SurePayroll."
BEG can manage payroll operations directly inside your current SurePayroll setup. Your data stays put, your employee experience does not change, and BEG takes over the day-to-day running of it. If you later want a full HCM platform, we handle a move to isolved with zero disruption.
Common objection: "We are not sure what tier we are even paying for."
Send us your last three SurePayroll invoices and BEG calculates your true cost per employee per month across whatever tier you are on. The audit is free and yours to keep whether or not you become a BEG client.
The Math
BEG managed payroll is $25-$45 per employee per month, all-inclusive. One flat rate that covers every cycle, every filing, every year-end form.
