For what it's worth, I use intuit's payroll (formerly paycycle) and while it's functional, it is neither innovative or progressing. It's very much stagnant, with a UI straight from 2000. I've been with them for two years and nothing has been changed.

I can't speak for the others, but there's very much a "it works, lets not mess with it" vibe from Intuit's offering.

Intuit acquired Paycycle in 2009 and the entire company left to do another startup. That might explain why it hasn't changed much.

Errm, that really isn't true. The vast majority of the Paycycle engineering team is still at Intuit and working on Intuit Online Payroll and/or related projects. The amount of people that have left over the past few years feels inline with normal attrition rates (or slightly better than).

Well a lot of the founding team went over to bill.com, I think.

I use Quickbooks Online's Payroll Service. I like it quite a bit, albeit my company is tiny with uncomplicated payroll. They offer great support, too.
