MyCo vs Keka
An honest side-by-side for US small and mid-sized businesses. No marketing fluff — just the features, pricing, and use cases that matter when you're deciding.
Quick Verdict
Who wins?
Keka is a well-regarded HR and payroll platform with roots in India and strong payroll automation for the Indian market. MyCo is US-built for US field-service SMBs — US multi-state payroll-ready data, GPS attendance, scheduling, and CRM in one mobile app — so US buyers get native US payroll prep and compliance framing rather than India-first payroll.

Is Keka good for US payroll?
Keka's payroll is built India-first, with deep Indian statutory compliance. For a US business, MyCo is US-native: it prepares payroll-ready data across all 50 states and frames compliance (overtime, multi-state, certified payroll) for US rules.
Keka or MyCo for a US field-service team?
MyCo. It's US-built and leads with GPS and consent-based attendance, US multi-state payroll prep, scheduling, and CRM for deskless crews. Keka is strongest for India-based, desk-oriented SMBs.
Does MyCo file US payroll taxes?
No — MyCo prepares and calculates payroll-ready data and exports it to your US payroll provider or accountant to file. This keeps your existing US payroll relationship intact.
How does migration from Keka work?
Book a demo, export your employee and pay data from Keka, and MyCo imports and maps it, configures US multi-state payroll prep, and runs one parallel pay period before cutover.
