Patriot Payroll price history

Patriot Payroll price history on PayrollPriceWatch. Current pricing status: public. Last checked Nov 10, 2026. Source: https://www.patriotsoftware.com/pricing/.

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.

Notes stored from the source

List prices are used in comparisons. New accounts get 30 days free, then 50% off for 3 months. The pricing page's worked examples (10 workers: Basic $57, Full Service $87) match these list prices.
A worker paid is any employee or 1099 contractor paid at least once in the month. Months with no payroll charge the base fee only.
Time & Attendance and HR Software are each $6/month plus $2 per employee. They are add-ons, not included in the plan totals.
Basic Payroll calculates taxes. The customer deposits and files them. Full Service files federal, state, and local taxes, plus year-end Forms 940, 941, W-2, and W-3 at no extra fee.

Those notes are the evidence for the snapshot. If a fee is not in the notes or the plan fields, it is not published, including setup fees, cancellation fees, and any price from before the first snapshot.
