OnPay plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |

People bring OnPay in for a farm running agricultural payroll that needs form 943 rather than the standard quarterly filing, a church or nonprofit with clergy compensation rules that mainstream providers decline to handle, a restaurant group needing tip credit and minimum wage make-up calculated correctly each pay period, a small business that wants one price for payroll rather than a tiered plan it has to keep upgrading. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to OnPay are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Payroll
Too few payroll tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

| Rain Instant Pay | On request | quote | - | vs OnPay |
| Clair | On request | quote | - | vs OnPay |
| Openwage | On request | Per-transfer fee, paid by the employee | - | vs OnPay |
| Refyne | On request | quote | - | vs OnPay |
| Hastee | On request | quote | - | vs OnPay |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the OnPay badges page.
Before you pay for OnPay
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare OnPay against the tools that do have one before committing.
OnPay runs on web, and is published by OnPay of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The full record is on the OnPay review, and the rest of the category is under best payroll tools.
