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

Murf

  • Sold directly by Murf Inc on AWS Marketplace (Murf Falcon Text to Speech API) at $0.00001 per character, about one cent per 1,000 characters, in USD
