OnPay earns a 9.3 out of 10 Editor’s rating for its transparent pricing, comprehensive features, and expert customer support
OnPay, a leading payroll, HR, and benefits administration provider, today announced it has been recognized as the Best Online Payroll Service for small businesses in business.com’s annual review of the industry’s leading platforms.
The software was highlighted for its standout balance of simplicity, robust features, and transparent pricing. To determine its recommendations, the business.com editorial team evaluated over 70 payroll processing services. Solutions were rigorously tested across 20 distinct factors — including payroll processing workflows, tax filing accuracy, customer support quality, and overall value.
“Small business owners shouldn’t have to compromise between software that’s easy to use and tools that are powerful enough to run their entire back office,” said Patrick Beahm, VP of Product at OnPay. “Getting recognized as the best small business payroll service confirms our commitment to delivering innovative tools that businesses can rely on, backed by expert support whenever they need it.”
According to the business.com review, OnPay sets a new standard by including features that competitors typically reserve for premium add-on tiers or separate subscriptions. Key strengths highlighted in the evaluation include:
Predictable, Transparent Pricing: With a straightforward monthly plan starting at $49 base plus $6 per employee or contractor, businesses receive unlimited pay runs with zero hidden fees, allowing growing teams to scale without unexpected costs.
All-Inclusive Core Capabilities: OnPay handles multi-state payroll, auto-pay for salaried employees, custom reporting, and comprehensive tax filings – all at no extra charge.
Setup Assistance: Clients can be paired with an onboarding specialist who manages historical data migration and configures system integrations. Ongoing support is provided by an in-house team of payroll experts and licensed benefits brokers to help navigate health insurance, 401(k)s, and workers’ compensation.
Robust Employee Self-Service: Workers can access self-onboarding tools, built-in time tracking, digital pay stubs, and tax forms on mobile or desktop devices, significantly reducing manual administrative tasks for HR teams.
This recognition follows OnPay’s recent rollout of expanded HR tools designed to help employers automate processes as their teams grow. Integrated within a centralized dashboard, these updates support the full employee lifecycle with features for PTO tracking, document management, and customizable templates. Combined with live HR support and compliance updates, these additions reinforce OnPay’s commitment to providing an all-in-one platform growing businesses can count on.
