PrimePay

PrimePay Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

PrimePay empowers small businesses to manage payroll, HR, and time tracking with weekly usage and direct deposits as core workflows. It’s most used by administrative teams in construction, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors. Reviewers value its W-2 prep and payroll reporting, though many cite support delays and limited self-service tools. Recent updates include AI-powered onboarding and predictive dashboards for better visibility and control.

### Our verdict

It’s useful for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) that need payroll and HR tools with modular pricing and weekly usage patterns. While its payroll features are well-rated, buyers should expect trade-offs in support responsiveness and customization. The platform’s newer AI and planning tools offer more control, but teams may need to build internal processes to offset gaps in reporting and self-service.

81% negative reviews out of 31

Alison B

Bookkeeper, 11 - 50 employees.

"Every single thing became painful to do and it felt like pulling teeth to get anything done. If you tried to call you would be on hold for hours but it could be days or weeks to get a response to an email. "

85% negative reviews out of 26

## PrimePay's interface

The interface is intuitive for payroll and time tracking, with clear workflows for recurring tasks. But HR modules can feel cluttered and confusing. Reporting lacks customization, and there’s a lack of real-time feedback during updates. While payroll is easy to use, HR features often require support.

Barkha Bali

Content Writer

PrimePay’s payroll dashboard supports quick task completion, but HR modules often require extra steps to locate or update employee data. Support is needed for basic changes, slowing workflows. The lack of real-time feedback during edits can cause errors, which makes it important to build internal checks or allocate time for post-update reviews.

The software was great and easy to use. It had some ability to modify the set up and codes but when it came to customer service, it was difficult to get answers and help without starting from ground zero and explaining your whole company/ process to each person.

Pros

The simplicity of the product made it easy enough for almost anyone to use. The payroll process and tax management filing was helpful.

Cons

Because of the simplicity of the product, it lacked the abilities and the support we needed as a growing business.

My experience with PrimePay has been excellent. The platform made our Open Enrollment and new benefits program implementation smooth and efficient. Our consultant was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with—always meeting deadlines and communicating clearly. Overall, PrimePay provided the right tools and support to ensure a successful rollout, and I would highly recommend them.

Pros

I recently completed the implementation of a newly structured benefits program for Open Enrollment using PrimePay as our HRIS, and the experience was excellent. Our benefits consultant, \[sensitive content hidden\], was outstanding throughout the entire process. He was extremely knowledgeable about the system and benefit plan structures, which gave me confidence at every step. He consistently delivered his work on time, communicated clearly, and always made himself available for questions or guidance. Beyond his professionalism, he was friendly, approachable, and truly a pleasure to collaborate with. I would highly recommend him to anyone implementing a benefits program, and I would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Cons

One area of improvement is around branding clarity. There can be some ambiguity in how PrimePay and SyncHR are marketed and presented, which at times makes it difficult to distinguish the two platforms and understand their positioning. Clearer, more consistent branding would help avoid confusion.

So far, Primepay is what I would have expected in a payroll company. The processing is easy. If I need help with a special payroll or have any questions the representatives to this point have been stellar.

Pros

They were able to work with me to keep my processing costs low. I historically only use my payroll companies for processing and nothing else

Cons

I have been with them for less than a year. So it is hard to choose a "con". However for some reason I was getting charged more for my payroll monthly than my proposal stated. It was fixed, and then happened again. So it seems to be a computer glitch that needs to be fixed.

Switched from

[Heartland Payroll+](https://www.capterra.com/p/195073/Heartland-Payroll-HR/)

I think Heartland being owned by Global Payments has brought down the quality of the product.

Reasons for choosing PrimePay

Primepay was able to stay within the budget I was looking for. For my business, payroll cost is what drives my decision.

My overall experience with Primepay has been very positive. Some of my issues were unique, but once I had a representative where as I could show my particular limitation, they were always able to resolve or show me better ways of handling the issues.

Pros

In most cases, there is written information on how to resolve an issue you are having and potentially a video as well.

Cons

Times where I had to call support, those issues where not always resolved or no one returned my calls

Overall, Prime Pay is much smother of a payroll platform that what I have used in the past. I enjoy the platform, the look, and the ease it provides. Direct deposit is the way to go! Less headache!

Pros

Prime Pay offers a wide variety of business needs. It has a sleek, modern look and feel- while being easy to navigate and process your payroll needs.

Cons

At times, Prime Pay support can be tricky to navigate. Sometimes I feel as though my cases are solved quickly, and others I feel I am lost and/or need further assistance.

I am relatively new to PrimePay in this regard. I am however a former client, but well before there was such an extensive online presence. I used to have a dedicated specialist I would call. As I have used several Payroll/HR companies, the PrimePay dashboard is relatively user friendly.

Pros

The support staff I would say is what I like most. In my experience they have been both professional as well as cordial.

Cons

I don't think what I like least is exclusively a PrimePay issue. There is a volume of information on how to generate reports, or complete certain actions. It's sometimes difficult to navigate by yourself, or to phrase the question you have for the search feature to find it.

Switched from

[Heartland Payroll+](https://www.capterra.com/p/195073/Heartland-Payroll-HR/)

I was locked into a 3 year contract, to be fair rate was excellent. While there are competent people who work there, I find that being acquired by Global has hurt their product. It took me weeks of phone calls and emails to find out what would happen once the contract ended. The people I would speak to or hear from always had to push the message along to someone else, and that someone else would never return my message. In my experience through the years working off and on with Global, they never had a good sense for working with smaller businesses.

[RUN Powered by ADP](https://www.capterra.com/p/185859/RUN/)

Reasons for choosing PrimePay

They were able to match the price very close to what I was paying at Heartland.
