Payroll price history
Each vendor page links to a history that quotes the snapshot plan by plan. This index is the whole log in one place: how many snapshots exist, every change entry in full, and a pointer for vendors that have only the one data point.
This is the price history PayrollPriceWatch has actually stored. There is 1 snapshot and 3 change entries. A vendor with no change entry still has a history: the snapshot is the data point. Nothing on this page fills a gap with an unpublished price.
PayrollPriceWatch keeps a price log beside the current vendor file. A snapshot is the set of plan fees recorded on a check date. A change entry is a separate note when a later source disagrees with an earlier one, when a product is renamed, or when a page publishes two prices for the same plan. A check line is the result of the price-check script for that vendor on that date. The script does not edit the vendor file. One snapshot is still a price history. It says what was published on that date and nothing about the month before. Where the log has only that snapshot, this page says so. It does not backfill an older price from memory, from a competitor roundup, or from a number that was never stored. Quote only and conflicting vendors can appear in a snapshot with no chosen price. A missing dollar is written as not published. Conflicting observations stay side by side until the vendor page agrees with itself.

Change entries
Roll by ADP on Nov 10, 2026 (price-increase). Roll by ADP's pricing page, /en/pricing, terms, and FAQ list $59 a month plus $7 for each W-2 employee or 1099 contractor paid that month (checked November 10, 2026). The Internet Archive capture of the pricing page on June 8, 2026 is titled "Unlimited Payroll for $39 / Month" and its description says "$39 per month +$5 per employee." That same capture also contains a $29 variant, so the earlier page was not perfectly clean either. No vendor announcement dated November 5, 2026 was found. Three free months for new U.S. customers are still on the terms page.
QuickBooks Payroll on May 6, 2026 (rename). Intuit announced QuickBooks Workforce on May 6, 2026. The press release names three tiers: Workforce Payroll (formerly QuickBooks Payroll Core), Workforce Premium (formerly QuickBooks Payroll Premium), and Workforce Elite (formerly QuickBooks Payroll Elite). On November 10, 2026 the public payroll pages list regular prices of $50 + $7, $88 + $13, and $134 + $17 per month, before a 50% discount on the base fee for the first 3 months. This entry records the rename. A separate before-and-after list-price change, and an October 22 effective date, were not verified on an Intuit page.
SurePayroll on Nov 10, 2026 (conflict). SurePayroll's pricing page HTML, fetched November 10, 2026, contains two Full Service prices: $29/month plus $7 per employee, and $39/month plus $7 per employee. The plan where the customer files taxes also appears twice, at $20/month plus $4 per employee and at $29/month plus $4 per employee. The page headlines both "Starting at $29/month" and "Starting at $39/month." No single list price is published in the comparison until those figures agree.
