Both are quote-only and list small, midsize, and enterprise segments. Paylocity documents a REST API with webhooks, payroll in 100+ countries, and modules spanning HR, finance, and IT, such as corporate cards and AP automation.
Pricing. Both are quote-only. Paylocity's pricing page offers 'Request Pricing with a Free Demo' and publishes no plans; Paycom provides a customized quote with a Core minimum.
Capabilities. Paylocity documents 10 HCM capabilities plus finance and IT modules; Paycom documents seven, with more payroll detail. Paycom states payroll in over 190 countries against Paylocity's 100+, so breadth favors Paylocity and country coverage favors Paycom.
Integrations. Paylocity documents a REST API and webhooks for syncing employee data, and says hundreds of integrations exist without giving a count. Paycom does not publish an API or an integration count.
Security. Paycom documents ISO 27001 and SSO. We could not confirm SOC 2, ISO 27001, or SSO for Paylocity on its public pages.
Fit and support. Paylocity lists Small Business (1-99), Midsize (100-499), and Enterprise (500+); Paycom lists small, medium, and enterprise. Paycom documents a dedicated specialist; Paylocity does not publish its support channels.
No comparison is possible; neither publishes prices. Paylocity offers pricing through a free demo request, and Paycom provides a customized quote based on the tools you need, with a Core minimum and Complete tiers per suite. Request quotes from both for the same headcount and modules.
Which is better for a small business, Paylocity or Paycom?
Both list small businesses; Paylocity defines it as 1-99 employees. Neither publishes prices. Paylocity offers an API with webhooks and finance modules; Paycom offers a dedicated specialist and documents multi-state payroll and ISO 27001.

Can you switch from Paycom to Paylocity?
Neither vendor publishes implementation time, fees, or migration steps. Paycom assigns a dedicated team from implementation onward.

Does Paylocity offer an API?
