The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ADP no pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken; FloQast no pricing is published, and the vendor states packages scale with business outcomes rather than seat count, which gives a buyer no unit to estimate against
  • They diverge on capability: ADP covers Payroll, FloQast covers Close management.

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

FloQast

  • No pricing is published, and the vendor states packages scale with business outcomes rather than seat count, which gives a buyer no unit to estimate against
  • The product is split into five separately packaged solution categories
  • Every route to a figure runs through a personalised demo
