P4P is the solution to eliminate waste in the labor industry and fuel the growth of your company. Stop micromanaging employees and stop worrying about long lunch breaks and stops to the gas station… allow the SYSTEM to run your business and allow top performers to make more money! P4P will change your business. P4P will also transform the way employees think about their job and will ultimately set them up for a better career and better pay.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gusto Mobile at 4.8 against P4P Software's 2.7. Gusto Mobile also leads on ratings volume (50K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). P4P Software's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
