Gusto is built for US payroll. AnooreHR is built for Africa.
Gusto is a fantastic product — if you're paying staff in Texas. If you're running a Nigerian, Kenyan, Ghanaian or South African SME, it won't compute your PAYE, file your NSITF, or settle in your local currency. Here's how the two stack up.
| Capability | AnooreHR | Gusto |
|---|---|---|
| Nigeria PAYE (Finance Act 2020 + NTA 2025) | Yes | No |
| Pension / NHF / NSITF / ITF computation | Yes | No |
| Ghana SSNIT + Kenya NSSF + SHIF | Roadmap 2026 | No |
| Double-entry accounting included | Yes | No |
| Multi-company consolidation | Yes | No |
| Pay in Naira / Cedi / Shilling | Yes | No |
| Free tier for under-3 teams | Yes | No |
| US W-2 / 1099 | No | Yes |
| Price for 20 staff/mo | ₦62,500 | ~₦320,000 |
For US-based teams, pick Gusto. For anyone paying African staff in local currency, AnooreHR is ~4× cheaper and handles the compliance Gusto simply can't.
