Is OnPay worth the price?

75/10

OnPay's Partner tier at $49/month + $6/worker seems fair for accounting firms looking to manage client payrolls, especially with the free firm payroll and 15% revenue share.

The Elite tier's 'Contact us' pricing makes it difficult to assess value. This pricing structure is best for accounting professionals and firms seeking to offer payroll services to their clients.
