The short version

  • Only Dinero has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ADP no pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken; Dinero free Starter plan is capped to businesses with revenue under 100,000 kr, forcing an upgrade to Starter+ at 245 kr/md (annual) once that threshold is crossed

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

Dinero

  • Free Starter plan is capped to businesses with revenue under 100,000 kr, forcing an upgrade to Starter+ at 245 kr/md (annual) once that threshold is crossed
  • Tax calculation (Skatteopgorelsen) costs an extra 2,497 kr/yr on the two cheapest tiers and drops to 1,997 kr/yr on Pro, only becoming included at the top Total tier for 545 kr/md
