Paylocity Named Buyer’s Choice by TrustRadius Heading into 2025

Leading third-party review platform TrustRadius has named Paylocity a Buyer’s Choice Award winner for 2025, continuing a streak of recognition based on more than 1,700 client reviews and ratings. Paylocity was earlier named a TrustRadius Top Rated Award winner and a G2 Best Software Award winner for 2024.

"Congratulations to Paylocity for earning the TrustRadius Buyer's Choice Award," said Allyson Havener, SVP of Marketing and Community at TrustRadius. "This recognition is based on trusted customer reviews, showcasing Paylocity's commitment to delivering innovative HR and payroll solutions that truly meet the needs of its users. It's clear that Paylocity is making a meaningful impact in helping organizations streamline their operations and foster better employee experiences."

Take Willet-Cumro Innovations as an example. The onboarding process for new employees was a “disaster” with the previous platform, according to HR Generalist Tina Gould. She says Paylocity has helped make the process seamless and easy for new hires.

“We use Paylocity for Onboarding, Payroll, Time and Labor, HR/compliance training through the Learning module, and more,” Gould said. “Paylocity allows us to streamline all aspects of our workforce. We have seven companies to manage, and having one "source of truth" across our brands has greatly simplified our HR efforts.”

Simplifying core tasks such as time tracking, payroll processing, and expense management are critical to free up time. Ken Hart, CEO of Valley Family Health care says Paylocity helped track and reduce overtime through transparent reporting while also making expense management much simpler and reducing manual processes.

“Paylocity has helped us manage our business better," Hart said. "The hours tracking and reporting have helped us track and reduce overtime by being able to hold employees and managers accountable for their punches. Expense reimbursement is greatly simplified and goes right on the employees’ checks, cutting down on the number of manual checks that we were writing each month."

By investing in industry-leading innovations like AI Assistant, which helps expand employee self-service and increase HR efficiency, and the new Headcount Planning solution that leverages Paylocity’s employee record data to forecast staffing needs, Paylocity is simplifying the future of HCM.

“Paylocity has far surpassed other payroll companies that we have used in the past,” said TrustRadius user Mary Holinda. “We like their software and appreciate how user-friendly it is and easy to customize based on our needs. Based on customer service, sales excellence, and overall software usability, I'd never go back to any of the products we had used in the past.” 

Paylocity also recently acquired leading spend management platform Airbase to drive further investments and innovation in the HCM and finance space. The ability for companies to see payroll and non-payroll spend through a single pane of glass will allow for real-time visibility, faster financial close, improved planning, and stronger financial controls, and will represent a key differentiator for Paylocity.

“It’s an honor to be named a 2025 Buyer’s Choice by TrustRadius which is a testament to the work we’ve done to co-create our platform with our clients,” said Christine Pellini, Vice President of Product & Technology at Paylocity. “We’re always looking for new ways to grow our platform and product offerings to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Expanding into new areas of the finance space, while developing cutting-edge solutions like AI Assistant to support our clients, allows us to continually raise the bar for what’s possible within a single, unified platform.” 

A Buyers Choice recognition is the culmination of actual customer reviews on a site like TrustRadius. Paylocity maintains an 8.1 (out of 10) rating on TrustRadius with more than 1,700 ratings and reviews. In addition to Buyer’s Choice, Paylocity has earned Top Rated, Most Loved, and Tech Cares awards from TrustRadius in 2024.

“We chose Paylocity, and it was the right choice. Not just because we liked their technology, but because we felt our companies had the same ambitions and the same drive for innovation in their DNA,” says Evan Faircloth, VP of Organizational Culture at Nellis Auction. “I picked a team of eight people from across the business to evaluate all the platforms we demoed, and they gave Paylocity a 100% score across the board for ease of use. The first time they saw the Paylocity Mobile App, they loved it.”
