## Summary

Gusto is a modern payroll and HR platform.

Gusto scores 58/100, pulled up by Platform (85) and Support (84) but held back sharply by Coverage (6), which reflects 11 countries against a 185-country benchmark. EOR pricing from $599 per employee per month produces a Pricing sub-score of 54, and with only 2 approved Reddit mentions on file, Reputation sits at a neutral 60 rather than a data-backed figure. The trade-off is clear: strong product, limited footprint.

- Best for: US-focused teams needing a polished platform with strong compliance and support
- Standout: Gusto's Platform sub-score of 85 is its highest mark, backed by 10 listed integrations and a 4.3 blended rating across 18,053 reviews.

## Select Score: 54/100

| Dimension | Score /100 | Basis |
|---|---:|---|
| Coverage | 6 | Covers 11 countries, 6% of the 185-country benchmark. |
| Pricing | 40 | Pricing is not published, so it is scored below providers that disclose a price. Price transparency is part of the rating. |
| Compliance | 75 | 5 security certifications on file, with a blended third-party review score of 4.34 out of 5 across 18443 reviews (weighted by review volume). |
| Platform | 85 | 10 listed integrations. |
| Support | 84 | 4 support channels on file, with a blended third-party review score of 4.34 out of 5 across 18443 reviews (weighted by review volume). |
| Reputation | 56 | Based on 14 approved Reddit mentions (4 positive, 2 neutral, 8 negative; 10 first-hand). First-hand accounts weigh more than second-hand remarks; 1 mention from possible promotional accounts is down-weighted. Net community sentiment is balanced; Reputation scored 56. |
