   Sometimes what I'll do is include a "see more apps from this developer" link within my apps.

   I stopped updating the chart in February. As the trend indicates, sales have continued to decline since then. My latest figure is 15k-20k/month.

   This is exactly what I did when releasing new apps. By the time I had built Car Locator, I had built a following of loyal users who were willing to try out other apps I released. It made releasing and promoting subsequent apps much easier.

   Agreed. Products that are pure mobile apps without a service attached to it will rely very heavily on marketplace rankings for sales. And marketplace rankings always have a time-based decay factor as a part of the algorithm.

    We're suitable for companies of all sizes -- we're running payroll for companies with just 1 employee all the way up to 50+ employees. If your company operates outside of California, we may not be a good fit at the moment, since we only su

    Price and ease-of-use is a huge differentiating factor between ZenPayroll and other large payroll providers like ADP/Paychex. Unlike many payroll companies, we're a tech-company at heart and we're constantly writing software to make payroll

    Awesome point, Mike. We'll have Quickbooks IIF export by the end of this month. Regarding moving data seamlessly between ZenPayroll and other applications -- it's something we're actively working on right now, with a particular emphasis on

    Thanks! You're absolutely right. Many other self-serve payroll services that your CFO might be referring to place the burden on the employer to ensure they are compliant. These companies might only send you an email reminder to pay your tax

    Price is most definitely not the only differentiator for us, though we do see it as one of main benefits of using us, especially for smaller businesses. One of our main differentiators is having much more intuitive, simpler, and beautiful p

    You are correct, we only support California at the moment. However, we'll be rolling our more states in Q1, and will have full 50 state support in Q2. For California (and for all other states we will support in the future), we handle all th

    I'm one of the co-founders of ZenPayroll, and I'd be more than happy to help clarify. For all federal, state and local taxes, we automatically debit the tax amount (along with employee pay) during each pay period. We then deposit your empl

    BTW, I just realized that TechCrunch incorrectly listed our prices initially. They've since updated the post to reflect the actual cost. Our goal is to be competitive on price and significantly less expensive than ADP and Paychex. You can v

    Thanks! If you don't mind sharing, what are you paying for payroll through ADP? ZenPayroll is just $25/month + $5/employee/month, and only $1/employee/month for each employee after your first 10. Everything is included in this price. From t
