Where each one falls short

ADP
- No pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken
- Split into three separate products by company size, RUN for 1 to 49 employees, Workforce Now for 50 and above, and Lyric HCM for enterprise, so growing across a threshold means changing product rather than plan
Appointlet
- Free plan limited to 5 members and 25 bookings per month
- Fewer integrations compared to market leaders like Calendly
- Less polished UI/UX compared to newer competitors
