Why buyers look beyond Netchex

  1. No published prices

    Netchex bills per employee a month but quotes every package, and a minimum fee applies.

  2. 12-month standard contract

    The standard contract runs 12 months, which suits buyers ready to commit more than those who want to pay month to month.

  3. US payroll only

    Netchex serves businesses located anywhere in the United States; teams with staff abroad will need another provider for those countries.
