What to check before you buy
Questions to answer, ideally during a free trial or a demo, before you commit:
- Pricing, which is usually quoted rather than published.
- Which product line fits your size.
- Contract terms and add-on fees.
- Ease of use for your team.
- US tax and compliance. Software doesn't replace professional advice on payroll, sales tax or industry rules.
- Getting your data out. Ask how you would export your data if you ever switch.
Pricing
ADP pricing depends on the plan, number of users and add-ons, and vendors change it often. We don't list prices on overview pages; check the current plans on the official ADP website. Our full review will break down the real cost.
