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; Magnific credit costs vary widely by output type, from 15 credits per 3 seconds of sound effects to up to 5,600 credits for a single video generation, making total cost hard to predict from the headline plan price, as of August 2026.

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

Magnific

  • Credit costs vary widely by output type, from 15 credits per 3 seconds of sound effects to up to 5,600 credits for a single video generation, making total cost hard to predict from the headline plan price, as of August 2026.
