The short version

  • Only SalaryFits has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ADP no pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken; SalaryFits it only operates in Brazil, tied to Brazilian payroll and labour law, so it is not an option for any multinational benefits programme outside that market.
  • They diverge on capability: ADP covers Payroll, SalaryFits covers Discount club.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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

SalaryFits

  • It only operates in Brazil, tied to Brazilian payroll and labour law, so it is not an option for any multinational benefits programme outside that market.
  • Ownership by Serasa Experian, a credit bureau, puts consumer credit data and workplace financial wellness in the hands of the same company, which some employees and employers may view as a conflict of interest.
  • Salary advances and payroll loans carry real fees and interest even though the base app is free to the employer, so the actual cost to employees is not zero despite the marketing framing.
  • As with any earned wage access product, heavy reliance on advances can mask underlying pay adequacy problems rather than solve them, and repeated use signals financial distress that a purely additive benefit narrative does not capture.
  • Independent, English-language documentation and support are thin, since the product and its support model are built around Brazilian Portuguese speaking employers and employees.
