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

D-ID

  • Maximum video length capped at 5 minutes
  • Image upload limited to 10 MB; JPEG, JPG, PNG formats only
  • Premium avatars unavailable on Lite plan
