    RUN Powered by ADP® blows Paychex Flex out of the water. The ease of using the app and the website is so much better! The detail we are able to see in the payroll section is much improved. Probably the biggest improvement between the two is the customer service. We feel …

    Looking at the features offered (even if we don't utilize them all), we felt that RUN Powered by ADP was a better value for us. We liked the idea of having the support of a well-tenured business at our fingertips. Other payroll providers do not have the longevity or the scope …

    Both Gusto & QuickBooks payroll are fine options if you only have a few employees all in one location and rarely make any changes. I switched many of my clients from those platforms because of the increase in remote employees working in different states and the lack of support …

    RUN Powered by ADP® was recommended by our accountant. Quickbooks really left us owing taxes and a lot of pending items with the IRS. Really hoping RUN Powered by ADP® is more on top of that.

    I went from RUN to workforce now and see now that it was a very bad decision. I enjoy not having to do things with regard to inputting new hires, etc. I am hoping RUN can adopt the option of sending an email to new hires that allows them to put their own information in similar …

    We used Wells Fargo's payroll service before ADP, and it was good. When ADP acquired that business from Wells Fargo, the process of submitting our payroll became even easier. My sense is that ADP may have the highest degree of HR integration of the payroll systems I have worked …

    ADP is the largest provider of payroll. It can be expensive if you only have 1-2 employees but as your payroll scales, the costs decrease on a per employee basis. This though is typical for most providers.
