Where MyStubs is strong

What we built MyStubs to do better.

Live calculation preview — not just a template thumbnail. PayStubHero shows you what the layout looks like; MyStubs shows you what the federal + state tax math actually computes to before you pay.

Account-based workflow with saved Companies + Employees so the second stub takes a fraction of the time.

Sibling 1099-NEC + 1099-MISC generators in the same checkout, with the same saved profiles.

Per-state landing pages with state-specific tax notes (50 states + DC).

Bottom line

Which one should you pick?

PayStubHero is solid for a one-off single-stub purchase. For repeat use, multi-employee businesses, or anyone who also needs 1099s, MyStubs's saved-profile workflow + same-cart 1099 support saves substantial time after the first purchase.
