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

Conta

  • Project management, KID numbers on invoices and unlimited e-invoicing are reserved for the higher Smart plan at 339 NOK/month, not included in the 209 NOK/month Standard plan
  • Payroll and annual settlement services are not included in either plan and must be purchased as separate add-ons
