What the buying committee actually pays
Tax filing is bundled. SSO and webhook API are commonly upsold. Renewal-uplift on multi-year contracts averages 12% per year unless capped in the MSA [2].
What do the four tiers cost?
Buying-committee bands: Essential ~$10 PEPM, Enhanced ~$15 PEPM, Premium ~$22 PEPM, HR Pro ~$28 PEPM. All quote-only.
How much is the per-payroll-run fee?
$3-$6 per employee per run, depending on tier. Bi-weekly payroll therefore adds $78-$156 per employee per year on top of the subscription line.
What is implementation for 100-250 employees?
$1,500-$5,000 for 100 employees. $5,000-$15,000 for 250 employees on the full HR Pro suite with multi-state tax filing.
Does ADP charge for SSO and API?
SSO and webhook API access are typically separate SKUs in the published quote. SSO is rarely waived even on multi-year commits.
How does ADP compare to Paychex Flex post-Paycor?
ADP retains the larger enterprise footprint and stronger tax-filing depth. Paychex Flex (now owning Paycor) wins on price for sub-100 employee deployments.
