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

Fiken

  • Core functions beyond basic bookkeeping are unbundled add-ons billed separately, including bank connection, API access and payroll at 69-99 kr/month each on top of the 219 kr/month base plan (NOK)
  • Tax filing is a separate annual add-on costing 1,290 kr for sole proprietors or 1,590 kr for AS companies, not included in the monthly subscription (NOK)
