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

Pipefy

  • Free Starter tier caps at 5 processes even with up to 10 users
  • Business and Enterprise tiers publish no per-user price on the pricing page; both require contacting sales for a custom quote
  • Cancellations do not receive refunds even though the plan can be changed or stopped at any time
