The short version

  • Only Woven 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; Woven the Internet Archive's capture of Woven's homepage on 30 December 2020 named specific features (Smart Templates, Scheduling Links, Availability Sharing, Group Polls) and confirmed integration with Google, G Suite and Office 365, but the linked Pricing page itself could not be retrieved from the archive.
  • They diverge on capability: ADP covers Payroll, Woven covers Smart 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

Woven
