Paycor

What it does

Paycor is a cloud HCM platform offering payroll, HR records, benefits, time and attendance, scheduling, and performance/learning management across four tiers of increasing functionality. It targets mid-sized businesses, positioning itself as a direct alternative to Paylocity and ADP Workforce Now. A notable pricing quirk: many new customers get roughly 50% off for the first six months, with the full rate kicking in at month seven, so any quote a client sees early on is not the steady-state price.

Who this helps

You run HR for a mid-sized company.

You want payroll, benefits, and time tracking in one cloud platform.

You need scheduling and learning management too.

You want tiers you can grow into.
