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

Toggl Plan

  • Limited day-to-day task management features compared to full-featured alternatives
  • Many teams run Toggl Plan alongside another tool for comprehensive project tracking
  • Starter plan limited to five users maximum
