Payroller is built for one job. We are built for what comes next.
Payroller is an excellent product for businesses whose payroll is about getting Single Touch Payroll submitted and keeping costs to a minimum. myaccountant is built for the moment when "just submit STP" stops being the whole story — when super reconciliation, Payday Super readiness, leave liability, and the connection to your books all become part of the same job.
Where Payroller is genuinely strong.
Payroller has done a real service for Australian small business. For sole traders, micro-businesses, and single-director companies that need to submit STP and nothing more, Payroller's price — starting around a few dollars per employee per month, free for one employee on mobile — is genuinely the right answer. The mobile app is strong, the onboarding is fast, and tens of thousands of Australian businesses run uncomplicated payroll on it every week without issue. We mean this: for the right business, Payroller is the right tool.
Who Payroller is for. Where the limits start showing.
Payroller is at its best when payroll is a small, predictable, low-volume task. A single employee. A handful of hours. A weekly or monthly STP submission. The product is optimised for exactly that — and most of its users are exactly that shape of business.
Where the fit starts to strain is at the edges that are not STP. Super reconciliation — knowing which employees have actually had super arrive in their fund, and which have bounced — sits outside the core workflow. Leave liability — the dollar value of accrued annual leave across the team, the number that matters if someone resigns — is either absent or minimal. Payday Super readiness — the per-employee dashboard showing who is set up for the new per-pay-run rules — is a capability Payroller is working on, but is not the core of the product. And the integration with your books and your BAS is thin: Payroller exports to Xero, but it does not live inside a platform that holds the rest of your financial life.
What myaccountant is shaped around.
myaccountant treats payroll as one face of a bigger picture. The Payroll Overview tells you what needs fixing across your team. The Super Overview reconciles what you reported to the ATO against what actually reached each employee's fund. Payday Super readiness is visible per employee. The payroll journal posts to your books automatically after every pay run. Your BAS sees the wages and PAYG without you re-keying. It is the difference between running payroll in a tool and running payroll inside a platform.
Three specific things, if you want the detail.
-
Scope: submit STP, vs. run payroll.
Payroller's core promise is reliable STP submission at the lowest possible cost. myaccountant's promise is the full payroll job — calculation, submission, super reconciliation, leave tracking, EOFY, book integration, Payday Super readiness — in one platform. If your payroll is now more than an STP submission, the scope of the software matters more than the price per employee.
-
Pricing: per employee, vs. per business.
Payroller charges per employee per month, with a minimum monthly spend. myaccountant's Payroll module is $10 per business per month for up to 50 employees — one flat price, regardless of headcount. For a business with five or more employees, the maths starts to favour the flat rate.
-
Payday Super: being added, vs. already how it works.
Payroller is working on Payday Super readiness, like most payroll platforms transitioning to the new rules. myaccountant has always worked this way — every finalised pay run generates the matching super payment automatically, and the readiness dashboard shows per-employee status. If you are planning ahead of 1 July 2026, a platform where the new rules are already the existing rules is a different starting point.
Closing
If your payroll is an STP submission and you want the cheapest possible way to get it done, Payroller is a good answer. If your payroll has grown into the full job — super reconciled, leave tracked, books updated, Payday Super already handled — come and see what a platform makes possible.
