Where PayStubDirect is strong
What PayStubDirect does well.
Honest comparison — we'd rather be right about both products than win on one-sided framing.
Minimal interface that focuses on the form fields and skips marketing collateral.
Quick PDF turnaround for users who already know exactly what they want.
Email + PDF delivery without requiring account creation.
Where MyStubs is strong
What we built MyStubs to do better.
Minimal UI but with a free live preview baked in — PayStubDirect's speed comes from skipping the preview; MyStubs's speed comes from saving Companies + Employees so the second stub auto-fills.
Account workflow with saved Companies + Employees + Orders so repeat work is faster than entering from scratch.
50-state coverage with state-specific calculators, plus 1099-NEC + 1099-MISC in the same cart.
Modern templates including a true ADP-style layout alongside QuickBooks-style and Professional variants.
Bottom line
Which one should you pick?
PayStubDirect is fine for an experienced buyer who knows exactly what they want and never plans to return. MyStubs makes sense as your default paystub tool — for the first stub, the next pay period, and the 1099 at year-end.
