Hire, Pay & Manage Your Team

Justworks is best for small businesses with 5 to 50 employees that want to handle payroll, HR, and benefits all in one place without hiring a full HR team. As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), it lets your company offer big-company benefits like health insurance, 401(k), and mental health support at group rates. You get tools to onboard new hires, manage time off, stay on top of tax filings, and keep up with compliance rules. It's a strong fit if you're tired of juggling multiple tools and want real human support available around the clock.

AppSheet is Google's no-code app builder that lets you create custom business applications and automations without writing a single line of code. If your team runs on spreadsheets, paper forms, or clunky manual processes, AppSheet turns those workflows into mobile-friendly apps that work on phones, tablets, and desktops. You connect it to your existing data (Google Sheets, Excel, SQL databases, or other sources), and AppSheet generates a working app that you can customize with forms, dashboards, maps, barcodes, photo capture, and workflow automations. The platform is deeply integrated with Google Workspace, so if your business already uses Gmail, Google Sheets, or Google Drive, AppSheet fits in naturally. You can embed apps in Google Docs, trigger automations from Apps Script, and publish apps directly to Google Chat. AppSheet also connects to third-party services like Office 365, Dropbox, Salesforce, and BigQuery. AppSheet now includes Gemini AI integration, letting you describe what you want your app to do in plain language and have the AI generate it for you. With plans starting at $5/user/month, AppSheet is one of the most affordable ways for small businesses to digitize their operations.
