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

Bling

  • Entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage
  • The top Elite tier is priced only by custom quote rather than a published figure, unlike the three tiers below it
