I remember switching to Gusto early on in the life of my startup, and how surprised I was to realize that I was excited about payroll software. The UI and UX were 100x better than the stuck-in-the-90s software we were using previously. It made me really optimistic that starting a startup would only become easier as services like Gusto popped up to meet their needs.

My only gripe is that I liked the old name (ZenPayroll) better :P

I think you can blame the “laws, what are those” guys over at Zenefits for necessitating a rebrand.

False. ZenPayroll rebranded as Gusto in September 2015, months before Zenefits legal troubles went public.
Though the name change did seem to coincide with a shift in focus away from only payroll, to include services similar to Zenefits.

They did send me some cool Gusto socks during the rebrand though.
