MOSEY SHUTDOWN COMPARISON JULY 2026

Mosey alternatives for small-business compliance (2026 guide)

On June 30, 2026, Mosey's compliance platform shut off for everyone except Gusto payroll customers. If you just lost your compliance tracker, the right replacement depends on which job Mosey was doing for you. Here's the honest breakdown.

What happened

Gusto announced its acquisition of Mosey on April 9, 2026, to fold state and local compliance into its payroll platform. The cutoff was hard: after June 30, 2026, Mosey's compliance services are available only inside Gusto. If you run payroll on Rippling, ADP, Paychex, or anyone else, your access ended.

First move, regardless of replacement: request your data packet from Mosey โ€” account data, compliance status, and filing history. Do it now, before your records get harder to retrieve.

Pick your replacement by the job, not the brand

Mosey bundled several distinct jobs. No single tool replaces all of them, so match the tool to the job you actually relied on:

1. Multi-state payroll registrations & employer accounts

If Mosey handled state tax registrations, foreign qualifications, and employer accounts as your team hired across states โ€” that job belongs with your payroll stack. Gusto (Mosey's new home) does it natively; Warp is the strongest option if you're staying off Gusto; Middesk handles registrations ร  la carte.

2. Registered agent & entity management

Harbor Compliance and CorpNet cover registered-agent service, annual reports, and entity filings โ€” consultation-style pricing, strongest in regulated industries.

3. Local permits, licenses & filing deadlines for your actual location

This is the layer payroll companies don't touch: health permits, seller's permits, liquor licenses, fire inspections, labor posters, OSHA logs, harassment training, beneficial-ownership filings โ€” with real deadlines and real penalties. That's what ComplianceGuider does: scan your business, get every obligation with agency, cost, deadline, and penalty, and get reminders before you're late.

Straight answer: is ComplianceGuider a Mosey replacement?

For part of the job. If you used Mosey to register payroll accounts in eight states, we're not your tool โ€” go with Gusto or Warp. If what you actually need is to never miss a permit renewal, health inspection, or filing deadline for the business you run at a real address, that's exactly what we're built for. We're deepest in California today (restaurants, contractors, retail/e-commerce โ€” the most regulated categories in the most regulated state), with more industries and states rolling out.

FAQ

Is Mosey completely gone?

No โ€” it lives on inside Gusto. The June 30, 2026 cutoff only removed access for customers on other payroll providers.

Can I import my Mosey data into ComplianceGuider?

There's no automated import yet, but our free scan rebuilds your local-obligation picture from a 2-minute questionnaire โ€” and your Mosey data packet is worth keeping for filing history either way.

Does ComplianceGuider file things for me?

Pro gives you tracking, deadlines, and reminders; you file with each agency directly (we link every obligation to its official source). A concierge tier where we handle renewals is available by contact.
