Humi (AF Score 66) and Wagepoint (AF Score 79) are two of the most cross-shopped payroll platforms in our directory. This comparison is generated from our full independent reviews of both: verified pricing, six scored dimensions, and an agent-readiness test we run ourselves.
The verdict at a glance
Wagepoint scores higher overall (79 to 66), but the right pick depends on what you weight.
Humi is a Canadian all-in-one HR, payroll and benefits platform for SMBs, now owned by Australia's Employment Hero. Real CRA and Quebec compliance, but pricing turned quote-only and the agent story is thin.
Wagepoint is Canada-only small-business payroll: automated CRA and Revenu Quebec remittances, ROEs, T4/T4A/RL-1 year-end, and clean QuickBooks and Xero exports, run direct or through your accounting firm.
