Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Payroo Australia is a verifiable, ATO-approved Single Touch Payroll (STP) solution with genuine utility for Australian SMEs and a commendable free tier for non-profits. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone' despite being strictly regional, traction claimed as 'most people'). While the product exists and has ~1,000+ clients, the disparity between the submission's vague assertions and the actual niche scale results in a lower score relative to established market leaders.
