I have been using Xero with Payroll for $30 for 2.5 years. I cancelled
Quickbooks in lieu, since I have is a S-corp with me and my partner only on payroll. Xero is nice and easy to use.

2 months ago (summer 2018) Xero announced to stop payroll in 2019, you have to switch to a different company which charges $40 just for payroll alone. I guess they are getting kickbacks from them.

In addition Xero is also increasing their monthly fees. So at the end you pay almost 3 times as much for less integration and service. Very disappointing and very bad business practice. I would not subscribe again since this company is not interested in a easy and reliable pricing and workflow. Very very disappointed. Better watch out for a legit company.

I am on the free plan and using Sendgrid just as SMTP server for a while now. I noticed that all emails *******@t-online.de are blocked by t-online because of repeated spam from sendgrid. Sendgrid has been of no help and just advised to purchase a plan with dedicated IP from them. So if you want to be treated as a spammer by recipients, use Sendgrid.
