Where Auto Payslip Has the Edge
Established in the Vietnam market
Auto Payslip is a purpose-built tool for Vietnamese HR workflows. Teams familiar with Vietnamese payroll conventions will find it immediately recognisable.
Familiarity for existing users
Teams already using Auto Payslip have established workflows and muscle memory with the product. Switching carries a short transition cost.
Where Sheldon Sender Has the Edge
macOS support
Sheldon Sender runs natively on macOS 12 and later. HR teams on Mac can use it without a Windows machine or emulation layer.
Modern purpose-built UI
Sheldon Sender is designed from the ground up for payslip distribution, with a clean drag-and-drop workflow and real-time progress display.
Transparent pricing
Pricing starts at $5/month and is published at /purchase. No sales call required to find out what it costs.
Per-employee audit log
Every send session produces a full delivery report — who received what, when, and from which batch. Critical for NGOs, compliance teams, and large organisations.
MISA workflow
Sheldon Sender works directly from MISA AMIS CSV exports. The app auto-matches payslip PDFs to employees by employee ID — no renaming required.
