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 Azul

  • Entry Essencial plan is restricted to businesses earning up to R$81K annually and only 1 user access, so it does not scale with the company
  • Plan eligibility is tied to annual revenue bands (up to R$81K, R$81K-R$360K, R$360K-R$1.5M, R$1.5M+), not just feature needs, so a fast-growing business must upgrade plans as revenue crosses thresholds
