Choose Paylocity when US mid-market payroll+HR with a modern employee app is the job and you will take a custom quote — not when you need Gusto’s published prices or Workday-class HCM. Compare Gusto for published SMB payroll, ADP Workforce Now for compliance-brand payroll, Paycor for a similar mid-market HCM, and Rippling if HR+IT unification is the job.
