- They diverge on capability: ADP covers Payroll, Skedda covers Space scheduling.

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
Skedda
- Pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
- All published plans are quoted billed annually, with no monthly rate shown
- The rules and roles engine is basic on Starter and limited on Plus; the full engine requires Premier
- The insights dashboard is limited on the Starter plan
- Assigned spaces and unlimited custom fields require the Premier plan
- A dedicated account manager, legal agreement flexibility and white glove implementation are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price
- Every plan, including the cheapest, routes through Talk to Sales rather than self-serve checkout
