Paylocity Nets 25th Consecutive G2 Leader Ranking

Paylocity continues to lead the pack in the G2 Grid Reports, being named an overall leader in 10 human capital management (HCM) product categories in its Winter 2025 Grid Reports. This marks the 25th report in a row in which Paylocity clients have highly ranked Paylocity as a leader in the HCM industry. G2 Grid Reports are based on clients’ day-to-day experiences and high customer satisfaction levels. Paylocity continues to be the #1 overall choice in several critical categories for HR professionals.  

Paylocity maintains an overall 4.4 (out of 5) rating based on more than 2,700 client reviews, earning recognition as a leader in each of the Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business segments. G2 user satisfaction ratings also place Paylocity as leading its competitors in ease of use, likelihood to recommend, and average time to return on investment.  

"I have used Paylocity for about 7 years,” said G2 reviewer Lisa Johnston. “Paylocity’s innovation is incredible, and the new features are clearly what is being asked for by their users. Their implementation teams are thorough and very friendly. The mobile app and employee-facing interface is well organized and easy to use. I am continuously impressed by this company.”

Paylocity’s commitment to improving its platform stretches beyond just HR teams, as the new Headcount Planning solution allows businesses to make informed, strategic decisions about their workforce. The recent acquisition of leading spend management company Airbase furthers Paylocity’s meaningful contributions to supporting our clients across multiple teams. 

“Being named a G2 overall leader by our users is a testament to the work we’ve done to co-create a platform together with our clients,” said Christine Pellini, Vice President of Product at Paylocity. “Co-creation is at the core of what we do at Paylocity. Listening to client feedback and building new products to address the real-world needs of our clients makes Paylocity better. Continuing to be recognized as a G2 leader by our clients reflects that pursuit.”    

Further building on Paylocity’s long-standing AI-driven capabilities — such as personalized recommendations, sentiment analysis, and predictive workforce insights — the new Paylocity AI Assistant simplifies HR-related tasks with real-time, contextual support across the Paylocity platform. This innovation empowers clients like Barlean’s to navigate processes with ease and deliver intuitive, personalized assistance to end-user employees.

“With Paylocity's AI Assistant, I can quickly ask questions and get answers back," said Kelly Franzen, Director of HR at Barlean's. "It's intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to manage our workforce efficiently so we have more time to focus on strategic initiatives.”
