Paycom vs. Paycor
You can’t promise real data integrity with integrations. That’s why we built Paycom on a truly single database with no third-party tech.
See how our one software simplifies, secures and automates more than Paycor.

How Paycom outperforms Paycor
See why you should switch to Paycom
Seamless HR and payroll Paycor can’t match.
Paycom is built entirely in-house and requires just one app, login and password. All data flows seamlessly and securely through our tech with no reentry. Whenever you make a change in Paycom, it’s reflected instantly across our entire single software. Approved time off, position changes and more automatically populate where they need to and initiate appropriate follow-up actions — without any extra effort from you.
Paycor relies on 300+ apps and third-party integrations, potentially creating manual work, disparate data, muddled reports and compliance risks.
No more runarounds. Just dedicated service.
Paycom provides you with a dedicated rep — not a number in a queue — who understands your unique needs and our software inside and out. Our world-class service ensures you get access to the support you need quickly with the attention to detail your organization deserves.
Paycor’s ticketing system leads to unending queues and delayed customer service responses. It even charges a fee for higher-quality support. If Paycor has the means to provide in-depth, attentive service, why hide it behind a higher tier?
ROI you can see, measure and maximize.
With Paycom, you see the ROI of our software in our software. One dashboard gives you insight into your employees’ usage and how to maximize it. We’ll also partner with you to ensure your workforce uses Paycom. That way, HR and leaders don’t sink time into manual, time-consuming tasks. Instead, our automated software ensures they can focus on the business of your business.
Paycor offers no tool to prove your ROI, recommend ways to boost it or even measure employee tech usage. And since Paycor can’t automate across its disjointed system, you’re still stuck completing needless and wasteful busywork. All while working with a system that could produce data errors and unreliable reports.
You can’t fix errors before payroll runs with Paycor.
Paycom automatically builds payroll each period, finds issues and guides employees to fix them before submission, preventing costly corrections and ensuring 100% accuracy. So employees receive an accurate paycheck as Paycom automates a time-consuming, error-prone process.
Paycor only lets employees view their pay up to three days before it runs. The system has no way of automatically flagging errors to fix them early and help reduce your liability. So your organization can only address issues after they’ve harmed employees and forced you to administer a void, reversal, wire transfer or rushed paper check.
Yes, it’s true. Read this commissioned Forrester Consulting New Technology Total Economic Impact™ study to see how Paycom’s Time-Off Requests featuring GONE® generates significant ROI.
A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Paycom (October 2024). Results are for a composite organization based on interviewed clients with a three-year projected ROI of 102%-821%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about how Paycom beats Paycor
Unlike Paycor’s purchased apps and third-party integrations, Paycom relies on just one database. Since Paycor wasn’t built entirely in-house, its tools don’t work seamlessly together. The result? Inconsistent data and reports you can’t trust.
Once data is entered into Paycom, it flows seamlessly across all tools. This ensures 100% accurate data and prevents data reentry and time-consuming corrections.
Paycom is built for your employees’ experience, too! Our single software allows them to view, access and manage all their HR data through an automated, fully mobile app.
And Beti®, our self-service payroll experience, engages them with their pay to help ensure a perfect payroll. It works by self-starting each period using real-time data, then it automatically finds errors and guides employees to fix them before submission.
Paycor only lets employees view their check up to three days early, but doesn’t offer an intuitive way to fix issues ahead of payday. So you’re still stuck dealing with costly post-payroll corrections.
At Paycom, your organization’s success is our top priority. While Paycor offers tiered service packages for one-on-one guidance and specialized support, we ensure you receive a single point of contact who understands your business. They’ll help ensure you maximize your Paycom ROI even as early as implementation and through your first payroll. Afterward, they’ll provide guidance and support as often as you need it.
Plus, we’ll train you and your workforce on how to use our software at no additional cost. So everyone in your organization knows how to make the most of Paycom.
Paycom holds your data in strict confidence just like we do our own. We take the highest degree of care and caution to prevent its unauthorized disclosure, including measures required by applicable privacy laws.
To protect your workforce’s personal information, we encrypt your data in transport and storage. We own and operate our own data centers, and hold two of only 17 Tier IV certifications across the country. Additionally, what you enter into Paycom is not used for any purpose other than to provide our services.
We do not share nonpublic personal data with any third parties unless necessary to serve you. This includes the IRS, state unemployment agencies, state income agencies, workers’ compensation auditors, 401(k) administrators and entities that participate in the NACHA program for funds transfer purposes.
No matter the size of your business, Paycom’s single software scales with your organization and adapts to its unique needs. Because of our single, clean codebase, you can easily run fully customizable and accurate reports right in the software.
Our Time-Off Requests tool and its enhancement, GONE, also lets you automate decisions around time off based on your organization’s criteria. You can even customize that criteria later to address seasonal or compliance demands.
We also offer customizable options for:
- administering benefits
- creating and assigning training
- gathering valuable employee feedback
- exporting your payroll general ledger
- and more!
If you have a specific HR need, Paycom gives you the power to address it.
Unlike Paycor, Paycom’s implementation experts quickly identify and prioritize your needs to ensure the most efficient and effective implementation possible. You’ll be assigned one point of contact for hands-on guidance through every step. Plus, your sales representative won’t drop you the moment you sign with Paycom. They’ll stand by you to ensure you have a smooth and thorough implementation.
Very! Meet with us and we’ll show you how to easily switch from Paycor.
