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

Mattermost

  • No prices are published for any of the three paid tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Advanced); all require contacting sales
  • Professional is capped at a maximum of 250 users, forcing a move to Enterprise for larger teams
  • Licenses are sold only as prepaid annual subscriptions, and organizations that exceed their licensed seat count must purchase additional seats on a prorated quarterly basis
