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

Divvy

  • Divvy is now sold as BILL Spend & Expense and getdivvy.com redirects to bill.com
  • No standalone pricing is published for the spend and expense product; the site routes to a trial signup and sales contact
  • Signup is gated behind selecting a business type and accounting software rather than being open self-serve
