Heartland Payroll is now called Auris. Acrisure bought the business from Global Payments in 2025, and it now runs as Auris, a payroll, HR and benefits platform for small and mid-sized US businesses. Bundles start at $89 a month, and exact prices come by quote. We are an independent review site; the official login is at auris.io/login.

Renamed: Heartland Payroll is now Auris (checked 3 October 2026)

Auris's own FAQ says Auris was formerly Heartland Payroll Solutions, that Acrisure acquired the business from Global Payments in 2025, and that it keeps the same team and support.

heartlandpayroll.com now redirects to the Auris payroll app, and the Heartland payroll product page redirects to auris.io. Our previous link pointed to an unrelated HR site, so we now link to auris.io.

What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isAuris (formerly Heartland Payroll): payroll, HR and benefits software for US small and mid-sized businesses.

Our takeAuris is the old Heartland Payroll business under a new name and owner.

It covers payroll with federal, state and local tax filing, multi-state payroll, onboarding, hiring, time and attendance, benefits administration and HR, with a dedicated payroll specialist. Prices are quoted, starting at $89 a month for a single-employee business on payroll alone.

Why we rate itPayroll, tax filing, benefits, hiring and time tracking share one system, and each customer gets a dedicated payroll expert, according to Auris.

The catchPricing isn't published beyond the $89 starting point, so you need a quote.

The rename also means older Heartland guides and links may be out of date.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Moderate: you request a quote, then an onboarding specialist migrates your data. Auris says most businesses are set up in hours.
Scale breakpoint
Prices are quoted by headcount and bundle, so costs as you grow are hard to estimate in advance.
Walled garden
Moderate: accounting integrations exist, but payroll, HR and benefits data live in one Auris system.

Still a fit?

If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
