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

Rocket.Chat

  • No prices, tier names with numbers, or minimum seats are published anywhere on the pricing page; all three paid editions (Commercial, Government, Defense) route to Contact sales or Contact us
  • The free community edition is not represented on the pricing page at all, which lists only the three quote-only enterprise tiers
