Paylocity and Airbase Shine in G2 Best Software Awards

As customer-focused companies, both Paylocity and Airbase place a high value on feedback from clients and fostering long-lasting partnerships. That’s what makes the annual G2 Best Software Awards especially meaningful — the awards are based on verified reviews from those who matter most, our users. 

This year, G2 confirmed that with the addition of Airbase to the Paylocity family, users have access to a powerhouse of best-in-class HR, Payroll, and Spend Management solutions that will support employees at every stage. 

In the 2025 Best Software Awards, Airbase earned recognition as #11 in Best Accounting and Software products, and Paylocity was awarded four “Best of” titles: 

• Best Software for Mid-Market Business: #5 
• Best Software Companies: #38 
• Best HR Software Products: #9 
• Best Software Products: #35 

Why G2 Is the Gold Standard for Software Reviews and Awards 

With so much noise from competing marketing claims, it can be hard to know whom to trust when making a software purchase. Over 90 million B2B buyers visit G2 each year to get firsthand insights from people who have found solutions to their most pressing business technology problems.  

G2’s annual Best Software awards recognize the top B2B software companies and products based on verified user reviews from the past year. A proprietary algorithm ranks the top 100 companies using Satisfaction and Market Presence scores.  

It’s important to note that each G2 review is thoroughly vetted to ensure authenticity. 

Paylocity and Airbase: Why the Best Is Even Better Together 

Paylocity and Airbase both have strong histories of G2 success. 

For the past six years, Paylocity has been a G2 Best Software Award and Grid Report leader. Its intuitive platform connects HR data across business solutions, streamlining tasks and enhancing efficiency. Customers often sing the praises of this user-friendly approach. 

“We sometimes look at other HR and payroll solutions, but they are almost always much more complex than Paylocity. The Paylocity platform is simple to use, and has really helped us to grow,” says Lindsay Dowdy, Senior Vice President, Human Resources at the Dallas Stars.  

Airbase also consistently earns accolades in the G2 Best Software Awards, leading in categories like Expense Management and Accounts Payable Automation. Like Paylocity, Airbase is frequently recognized on G2 for its ease of use.  

According to one G2 reviewer of Airbase: “Everything is intuitive between uploading receipts, requesting reimbursement, and connecting to one's org. To my understanding, HR loves the service as well and finds it easy to provide fast reimbursement.”  

When the best of both worlds come together, the results exceed the sum of each part. The integration of Airbase’s finance solutions with Paylocity’s HCM platform creates a seamless experience for managing payroll and non-payroll spend. This unified view gives companies real-time visibility, improves financial planning, speeds up closing, and strengthens controls — setting Paylocity apart in the market.
