Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
