ADP pricing 2026
This page covers ADP's published prices, free plan limits and the catches, using StackScope's payroll and hr software report, last verified October 2026.
ADP has no ongoing free plan and publishes no list prices: Essential Payroll and Enhanced Payroll are quote-only, as is the Complete Payroll & HR Plus tier between Enhanced and HR Pro, and HR Pro is Contact Sales. The current RUN page advertises "Get 3 Months Free*," which is a promotion rather than a permanent free tier, and the vendor page does not expose full eligibility terms. StackScope does not estimate prices that ADP doesn't publish. The main catch is limited price transparency, plus some reviewers reporting occasional slowdowns, wait times and navigation friction in G2 and Capterra reviews. Praise centers on ease of use, payroll processing, reporting and support.
