How 401GO compares

Most 401(k) platforms for small business are middleware — a modern interface sitting on an outsourced backend. That means they’re dependent on third-party recordkeepers and TPAs for everything that matters operationally. 401GO owns the whole stack. Here’s what that means in practice:

The more plans you run
The better the math gets.

Per-participant fees drop as plan size grows. Advisors and payroll providers managing multiple plans get scaled rates built around their volume. The details vary by partnership structure. A conversation gets you a real number faster than a calculator.

Small businesses like ours never had truly affordable access to literally hassle-free 401(k) benefits. 401GO has made 401(k) benefits affordable and easy to use. It is a fantastic offering.

PRICING STRUCTURE

Yes. The government will help you pay for this.

SECURE 2.0 created meaningful tax credits for small businesses starting a new retirement plan. If you’re eligible, those credits can cover a significant portion of your first three years of costs.
Too many small businesses starting a plan today are leaving real money on the table by not claiming these benefits. Our tax guide breaks down exactly who qualifies and how to calculate your credit.

PRICING STRUCTURE

Nonprofit? We’ve got a plan for that too.

A 403(b) plan works very much like a 401(k) but is designed specifically for nonprofits, public schools, and other tax-exempt organizations. Pricing for 403(b) plans runs close to our 401(k) pricing. The specifics depend on your size and structure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

Honest answers about how the platform works, what it costs, and where it fits.
Why is 401GO so much more affordable than traditional providers?

Two reasons. First, technology: we built the platform from the ground up specifically for modern retirement administration. Most competitors run on infrastructure that predates the internet, which means tasks that should be automated are still done manually by multiple people. We’re all for keeping unemployment low, but not like that.

Second, bundling: 401GO is the TPA, recordkeeper, custodian (through our partner Matrix Trust), and 3(38) investment fiduciary all in one. No compounding fees across four vendors. Great efficiencies for us. Better pricing for you.

Zero, zip, none. Some providers use high termination fees to compensate for a platform people don’t actually want to stay on. We’d rather earn the long relationship.

You stop paying it. Employer fees apply only to current employees who are actively contributing. Terminated employees are charged for their own accounts at a discounted rate, and they always have the option to roll their assets into an IRA.
The monthly base fee and per-participant fees are paid by the employer. The AUM fee is pulled from plan assets, so it’s effectively paid by participants. We’re upfront about this in every plan document.

he Go-Starter is the right call for a very small business that doesn’t already have an existing 401(k) plan, and wants a simple, compliant plan, without a lot of moving parts, or dedicated support. It allows for the business to set eligibility requirements, but doesn’t allow for company contributions to employees into the plan like matching or profit sharing. It is also limited to lower contribution limits than a full 401(k) plan with our GO-Plus offering.

The GO-Plus is for businesses that are growing and can decide between Safe Harbor, traditional plans, or transferring an existing plan from an existing provider. This allows for contributions up to the annual 401(k) limits, API Integration or Trust360 payroll integration, dedication relationship manager for administrators, and access to more advanced plan design options like profit sharing and vesting scheduled.

Not sure which fits? That’s what we’re here for. Just ask.
