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

MRPeasy

  • Per-user pricing model becomes expensive as team size grows, unlike unlimited-user competitors
  • Complex calculations and unintuitive logic in some features requiring user training and clarification
  • Per-user pricing for API access limited to highest tier ($149/month)
  • Struggles to meet complex workflow needs for advanced planning and scheduling
