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

Erply

  • Priced per store per month rather than a flat company rate, starting at $49/store for the Giftshop & Grocery Chain plan with only 1 user account and 1 POS terminal included
  • Multichannel Chains plan is limited to 2 user accounts at $179/store per month
  • POS for NetSuite starts at $1,800 per month and Franchise & Chain starts at $3,500 per month, both quote-adjusted from there
  • Cancellation requires a written request 30 days prior to the end of the billing cycle
