The verdict
ADP scores 66/100 on the Select Score, strongest on country coverage and platform. Its weakest axis is compliance, the clearest trade-off to weigh before committing.
ADP is a payroll and EOR provider founded in 1949 and headquartered in Roseland, US, with broad global coverage across EOR and payroll services. It operates at scale, supported by multiple security certifications and a wide range of support channels. Quote-based pricing and a large but mixed review record make it a fit for larger organizations that prioritize coverage and platform depth over pricing transparency.

ADP on Reddit
Real community discussion we screened for relevance, then summarised: unfiltered operator experience, kept separate from our Select Score. One caveat: Reddit is anonymous, and some posts come from competitors or marketing agencies, so we verify that a mention is relevant, not whether any single comment is true. Filter by sentiment, or open any mention on Reddit.
$52k/year on ADP and I can't even get my rep to respond to emails. what are people actually switching to?
“I'm on my 4th one in 3 years. The current guy takes 3-5 business days to respond to basic questions. Last week I needed to add a new earnings code for a shift differential and it took 8 days to get it done.”
AI summary: Payroll manager vents about ADP Workforce Now: opaque pricing increases, unresponsive reps, outdated reporting, and broken benefits integrations after 4 years.
Why does everyone recommend Gusto for payroll?
“QuickBooks payroll is still missing basic features, and it's terrible to work with whoever there's an issue”
AI summary: Commenter suggests ADP persists mainly due to its referral program rather than service quality, implying Paychex is the better option.
Feedback on Paycom, Paylocity, Morris & Garritano [CA]
“For all of the horrible service we get with ADP TotalSource, all the service providers we evaluated demonstrated that we're getting a decent deal with ADP TotalSource.”
AI summary: Company moving off ADP TotalSource criticises its service quality and pricing opacity, but concedes benefits pricing is competitive versus the open market.
A note on Reddit: not every comment is a genuine, independent user. Some posts come from marketing agencies, competitors or the providers themselves. We screen mentions for relevance before they count toward a score, but we show this discussion as community signal, not verified fact, so weigh it with that in mind.
