When Online Paystubs (123PayStubs) is the better choice

A payroll-stub generator is the right tool if you are an employer producing genuine payslips for real employees on an actual payroll, complete with employer and employee deduction lines. That is the job these products are designed for and they do it cheaply. If you are self-employed and trying to evidence platform earnings, an employment-style stub is the wrong document, and lenders and landlords increasingly reject generated stubs in favour of income evidence they can verify.
