What it does well
- Calculates tax withholding automatically from the figures you enter.
- Produces 2 document types: Pay stub, Employee and contractor templates.
Limitations
- Subscription only — there is no single-stub purchase.
- Business-hours support (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm EST), unlike the 24/7 competitors.
Who it suits
People who need many different documents, not just stubs — the subscription covers 30+ form types.
That is our editorial view, formed from the vendor’s published information. It is not a test result — we have not run this tool end to end.
FormPros shows a rating of 4.8/5 from 15,026 reviews on Shopper Approved. We did not collect or verify those reviews and we do not publish a rating of our own.
Alternatives to FormPros
Compare it against the rest of the list in our side-by-side table of paystub generators, or read about these three:
People who need more than a stub — W-2s, 1099s and employment verification from one place.
Anyone who also needs W-2s, 1099s or other IRS forms from the same account.
A low per-stub price with a free first stub, and it handles state-specific items like California SDI and NYC local tax.
