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

TravelPerk

  • Pricing not transparently disclosed; organisations must request quotes and calculators to understand costs
  • Travel supplier inventory limited to partnerships (178 countries); less coverage than global GDS systems (Galileo, Sabre, Amadeus)
  • Requires integration setup with ERP and accounting systems; no standalone use for non-integrated workflows
  • Geographic limitations: primarily serves US, Canada, and EU; emerging market coverage is limited
  • Cashback programmes (Perk Card, Lodge Card) require company adoption; employee reimbursement workflows less developed
