## Recommendation

In other words, ADP is worth it for businesses that need payroll + HR + benefits from a single trusted vendor with 75-year compliance depth — particularly if you're in a regulated industry or have complex multi-state/international operations. RUN Powered by ADP covers 1-49 employees with published pricing ($79 base + per-employee fees for Essential); Workforce Now scales to mid-market with custom quotes; TotalSource offers PEO structure. Moderate learning curve; dedicated implementation typical for Workforce Now+. Native integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct. Downside: opaque pricing on all tiers above RUN (custom quotes only), and modern competitors (Gusto, Rippling, Justworks) offer better UX at lower prices for SMB.

## Alternative to consider

Modern SMB UX? Pick Gusto or Rippling. Contractors + global? Deel or Remote. Just US payroll no HR? Patriot Software (cheap, US-only). Full HR outsourcing (PEO)? Justworks, TriNet, or Insperity.

## Vendor context
