Why We Win: Paychex vs. ADP
Your business deserves the best tools and support to succeed. Choose Paychex for the all-in-one HR, payroll, and benefits solution that adapts to your changing needs.
One Platform for Every Stage of Business Growth
With ADP, you may move from Roll to Run to Workforce Now. Continuing to phase out of platforms can lead to re-implementation challenges, ongoing training in new platforms, and communication issues. *
With Paychex, you get Paychex Flex®, now and later. With a one-time implementation, it has the tools your business needs as it grows.
Tailored Support To Fit Your Needs and Budget
With ADP, depending on how many employees you have, you may not have access to dedicated support who can resolve more complex issues your business may be facing. *
With Paychex, you have the option to add the level of flexible support that best suits your budget and operational needs, no matter how many employees you have.
HR Guidance for Everyday and Strategic Needs
With ADP, HR support may come in the form of generalized best practices and without a single point of contact for your business. *
With Paychex, you can use a dedicated HR professional assigned to deliver ongoing, personalized answers to your HR issues, help proactively identify and assess risk, and provide strategic and day-to-day support. Plus, our HR professionals average more than 15 years of industry experience.
Retirement Plans Built for Your Business
ADP offers limited customization for 401(k) plans and requires separate logins for payroll and retirement management, making the process more time-consuming. *
As the nation’s top 401(k) provider1, Paychex simplifies retirement planning with flexible, customizable options and seamless integration of payroll and 401(k) management, all on one platform.
