OnPay review

Offers a single, transparently priced plan with great support and features for niche industries.

Verdict

OnPay stands out for its straightforward, all-inclusive pricing model and its ability to handle the specific payroll needs of industries that larger providers often overlook, such as processing Form 943 for farms.

What customers praise

Its single-tier pricing is refreshingly simple, providing all features to every customer without confusing upsells.

What customers criticise

The user interface, while functional, feels less modern and polished compared to competitors like Gusto and Rippling.

Best for

SMBs in niche industries (like agriculture, restaurants, or non-profits) that need specialized features alongside strong core payroll.
