Paychex ends 5-months-free promo banner, Pay Nothing Until April 2027
What happened
Between the Nov 2, 2026 and Nov 9, 2026 captures of Paychex's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Top-of-page promo banner removed: 'Offer Ends 11/24 - Get 5 Months Free! Pay Nothing Until April 2027'. Fine-print promotion terms remain in the page footer. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount removed) with a neutral direction.
It lands 7 days after Paychex's previous change, "Paychex extends Pay Nothing Until 2027 deal but cuts free months to five" (Nov 2, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Paychex offers 6 months free, no payments until April 2027, through Oct. 31" (Oct 19, 2026). Paychex has been tracked since 2026-05-05.
In the same window Gusto and OnPay also changed their Workforce Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
