## Reviews

### "Happy transfer" — 5.0/5

> **Jackie** | *9 May 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: How user friendly it is. If anyone is afraid to go to an online payroll system, I recommend this one. It’s extremely easy to navigate.
> 
> **Cons**: The reports aren’t as user friendly as I would like. I have to print off several different reports to get all the info I need.
> 
> Fantastic\! Moving from our old payroll system to this one was a huge upgrade. The transition was so simple and any time I call with a question, it is answered quickly and kindly.

-----

### "Perfect Payroll partner for our small biz" — 5.0/5

> **Rachel** | *8 April 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our CPA recommended OnPay for our small business. With all of the help articles and the dedicated onboarding specialist, the set up process was a breeze. The interface is easy to use and running payroll takes only a few clicks. The value is unbeatable. Very satisfied\!
> 
> **Cons**: I wish you could set the payroll to run automatically each month. We have a simple pay structure though so I understand that doesn't work for every business.

-----

### "Don’t hesitate, just buy." — 5.0/5

> **Ashlee** | *16 October 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The onboarding assistance, the price, and the intuitive system. I appreciate that their team made it easy to transition over and the price is amazing for its value.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not have any complaints at this time. I think the platform looks nice and so far it’s been no issue.
> 
> From the first sign up to now, it’s been amazing. We got the first month free which really helped us learn and see the functions without the pressure. Onboarding was seamless and customer service is amazing.

### "Easy to use program" — 5.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *8 April 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very user-friendly.  I do not have a ton of experience with running payroll.  However, I had to step in when our bookkeeper was unavailable and it was extremely easy.  The interface is very intuitive.  It is also easy to figure out how to set up direct deposit.  I love that employees are able to create their own login and download their own paystubs, W-2, etc.  They also send reminders about running payroll early if there is a holiday, which is very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: I honestly cannot think of anything I don't like.  It's been a great experience.  If anything, it would be nice to customize the layout of the W-2 to a different format.

### "Great Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Angie** | *2 September 2025* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Serves agricultural clients, fair pricing. Pleased with the onboarding specialist who was very helpful in answering questions - having a direct line to them ended up being more valuable than I expected.
> 
> **Cons**: Requirement that they enter the data as it really tightened up my timeline to transition (but it worked great in the end)
> 
> Overall, very pleased with the experience\! Had some reservations about the process; as an accountant I'm used to doing the data entry. It ended up being a great experience and I was so happy to have a direct point of contact to ask questions and check in on the process.
