Is free payroll software really free?

Free payroll software sounds too good to be true. What are the hidden costs for these solutions?

A lot of banks hand over free payroll software - no catch (except continued use of the bank).

Much of the other "free" product lacks automatic updates for tax variances, legal changes etc. and the real cost is updating them for these things manually. And... support almost always costs for "free" products.

You get what you pay for in most cases.

In addition, if something goes wrong in processing, who are you going to blame/sue?
