Where PaystubsNow is strong

What PaystubsNow does well.

Honest comparison — we'd rather be right about both products than win on one-sided framing.

Established brand with consistent template output across many years.

Phone-based customer support for buyers who prefer a voice channel.

Wide range of template styles for different employer industries.

Where MyStubs is strong

What we built MyStubs to do better.

Live in-browser preview replaces the need for a phone-support call — PaystubsNow's value is partly the support channel; MyStubs's value is the tool being clear enough not to need one.

Modern saved-customer + saved-employer workflow purpose-built for repeat paystub generation.

Per-state landing pages and per-state calculators with 2026 tax tables for all 50 states + DC.

Same-cart 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC support, with payer/recipient details auto-saved as Companies/Employees.

Bottom line

Which one should you pick?

PaystubsNow is a reasonable option for one-off purchases where phone support matters. MyStubs is a better fit when you'll be creating paystubs across multiple pay periods, multiple employees, or you also need 1099s.
