Both suites are sold by quote only, so price cannot separate them. Paylocity lists Small Business (1-99), Midsize (100-499), and Enterprise (500+) tiers, while UKG Pro is described as aimed at larger organizations and documents SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

Pricing. Neither vendor publishes prices. Paylocity offers pricing only through a demo form; Software Advice reports that UKG Pro pricing is quote-only.
Capabilities. Both cover core HR, time and attendance, recruiting and onboarding, analytics, and workforce planning. Paylocity also documents benefits and compensation management; UKG Pro adds scheduling and demand forecasting. Neither list proves the other lacks a feature.
Integrations. Both offer a documented API and webhooks. UKG Pro lists a marketplace with partners such as Okta, PlanSource, and Toast POS. Paylocity does not publish an integration count.
Security. UKG Pro documents SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and a trust center. Paylocity does not publish its certifications, so we cannot name a winner.
Fit and support. Paylocity targets 1-99, 100-499, and 500+ employee bands; UKG Pro targets mid-market and enterprise. We could not confirm support channels for either vendor.
Paycom has the highest LeadChange Score in HCM Software after excluding these two (3.9/10).
We cannot say. Paylocity publishes no prices and requests are handled through a demo form. UKG Pro pricing is also quote-only, according to Software Advice. Because neither vendor discloses rates, compare written quotes for the same employee count, modules and contract term.
Paylocity states a Small Business tier for 1-99 employees. UKG Pro is described as best suited to larger organizations, so a business under 100 employees will find Paylocity's positioning closer. This rests on how each product is positioned, not on a feature test.
UKG Pro lists global payroll across 160+ countries and 120+ currencies through UKG One View. Paylocity lists global payroll support for 100+ countries. If you pay workers in many countries, UKG Pro states the wider footprint, though coverage in your specific countries should be confirmed.
Paylocity spans HR, payroll, benefits, and finance modules for companies from 1 to 500+ employees. UKG Pro pairs HR and payroll with workforce management, including scheduling and demand forecasting, and aims at larger employers. UKG also documents SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001.
