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

Boomi

  • Subscription tier prices are not published; only the pay-as-you-go base of $99 a month plus usage is stated
  • Metered on several axes at once, including connections, users, environments and API transactions, so the bill is hard to predict from any one of them
  • Connection counts, environments and user seats are all capped by edition
