1. Fingercheck is easier to use and adopt
Paychex is a broad HCM suite built for mid-sized companies with office teams. For an operator running hourly crews, that usually means more setup, more training, and more features you will never touch. Fingercheck is built for the people actually running the work: owners, office admins, and the teams clocking in. Track time and run payroll from day one, with no long onboarding and no payroll background required.

2.Full public pricing for every plan, not hidden behind one entry price
Paychex publishes one entry-level price, then moves you to custom quotes for the plans most businesses actually need. Reviewers also note that discounts tend to climb back up unless you call to renew them. Fingercheck shows pricing upfront and includes time tracking, scheduling, and HR in the plan, so you know your number before you ever talk to sales.
Sometimes know as Earned Wage Access. On-demand pay lets employees access their earned wages instantly, before payday. With Fingercheck, it happens automatically—no extra payroll steps and no cost to your business.

3. Time tracking built for the hourly workforce
This is what Fingercheck is built for. Mobile and biometric punch-in, geofencing, and real-time shift tracking come standard, so hours flow straight into payroll. That means fewer errors, less time theft, and cleaner compliance for OT, breaks, and multi-state crews, whether your people work in vans, on sites, or across locations.
