  • Each has a real cost: ADP no pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken; Quo unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited

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

Quo

  • Unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited
  • Starter tier's $15/user annual rate requires prepaying annually; monthly billing costs $19/user, about 27% more
  • The Sona AI agent automation credits are capped at 1,000 free per plan before additional usage is billed
