Pricing. Both are quote-only with no published prices. Paycor offers a custom quote for businesses under 50 employees and mid-market plans for 50-1,000+; Paycom quotes by tools selected.
Capabilities. Both document payroll tax, time and attendance, benefits administration, recruiting, compensation, and analytics. Paycom's payroll detail is deeper (multi-state, garnishments, and direct deposit); Paycor documents talent acquisition and a configuration API in more depth.
Integrations. Paycor documents a developer portal, 140+ APIs, and hundreds of pre-built connectors. Paycom does not publish an API, marketplace, or integration count.
Security. Paycor documents SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and SSO with four providers. Paycom documents ISO 27001, among other ISO standards, and SSO; we could not confirm a SOC 2 Type 2 report for Paycom. Each has independent certifications, but they differ.
Fit and support. Both list small, mid-market, and enterprise segments. Paycor documents phone and a customer hub; Paycom documents a dedicated specialist; neither publishes support hours.
Paylocity has the highest LeadChange Score in HCM Software after excluding these two (5.4/10).
No comparison is possible; neither publishes prices. Paycor offers a custom quote for businesses under 50 employees and mid-market plans for 50 to 1,000+. Paycom quotes by the tools selected. Request quotes from both for the same headcount and modules.
Both list small businesses. Paycor offers a 1-49 employee band with a custom quote, and Paycom lists small, medium, and enterprise. Neither publishes prices. Paycor documents SOC 2 Type II, SSO, and APIs; Paycom documents a dedicated specialist and deeper payroll items. Ask both for quotes at your headcount.
Neither vendor publishes implementation time, fees, or migration steps. Paycom assigns a dedicated team from implementation onward; we could not confirm Paycor's implementation details. Ask each vendor about data conversion, timelines, and contract terms, and whether payroll history and time records transfer.
Paycor is a Paychex business unit with 140+ APIs, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR documented, and a phone-and-hub support model. Paycom is an independent NYSE-listed company with documented payroll detail, ISO 27001, and a dedicated specialist. Both are quote-only and cover payroll, time, benefits, and recruiting.
Yes. Paycor states it operates as a standalone business unit of Paychex, Inc. Paycom is an independent company listed on the NYSE (PAYC). Neither vendor publishes how ownership affects product roadmaps, pricing, or support, so ask each how contracts and service teams are structured.
