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

Plutio

  • Core plan at $19/month is limited to 9 active clients with no additional contributors
  • AI credits and workflow actions are capped by tier: 800 AI credits and 900 monthly workflow actions on Core versus 10,000 and 50,000 on Max
