Gusto Extends Global EOR Discount Deadline to January 15, 2026, Maintaining $599/Employee/Month Pricing
What happened
Between the Oct 5, 2025 and Jan 1, 2026 captures of Gusto's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Gusto Global EOR promotional deadline extended from December 31, 2025 to January 15, 2026. The discounted pricing of $599/employee/month (down from $699) now runs through mid-January instead of year-end 2025. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 12, 2026) lists Simple at $6, Solo at $6, Plus at $80, Premium at $180 and Tax-Advantaged Benefits at $200 per year.
Gusto's previous recorded change was "Gusto Introduces Same-Day Pay Add-On for $90 per Payroll, Revolutionizing Payroll Processing Across All Plans" (Q3 2025). Before that Pulse recorded "Gusto Increases Plus and Premium Plan Prices as 25% Promotional Discounts Expire" (Q2 2025), "Gusto Raises Simple Plan Base Price by 22.5% from $40 to $49 per Month" (Q1 2025) and "Gusto Enhances Simple Plan with New PTO Policies and Next-Day Direct Deposit, While Downgrading Support to Basic" (Q4 2024). Gusto has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
