Switching from ADP

ADP RUN does not publish a payroll list price in this dataset. The packages page we stored names plans and a Get Pricing button, and a direct fetch of ADP's site was blocked. The row stays Quote only. This page cannot tell you what you pay ADP today, and it does not invent a cancellation fee, a setup credit, or a price match.

Roll by ADP is a different product in the same file, with a published list price. Leaving ADP RUN for Roll is still a product change. The Roll price is not an ADP RUN renewal price, and the change log's Roll entry is about Roll's own earlier archived page, not about a RUN contract.

The alternatives section lists every other stored vendor at the ordinary 10-employee input. Use it to see published list prices. It is not a recommendation and it is not a quote for your headcount, states, or contractors. Open the calculator for a different input, and treat any add-on that is not in the vendor file as not published.

Every dollar below is copied from the vendor file that was checked on the date shown. If a plan has no stored fee, the line says not published. If the vendor asks for a quote, the line says Quote only. This page does not average competitors, invent an add-on, or turn a feature name into a price.

What to gather before you cancel

A switch is an operational handoff, not a price we can look up. Export the employee roster, pay rates, tax withholdings you already have on file, direct-deposit details, and the federal and state account numbers you use for deposits. Keep the quarterly returns you have already filed. None of that is a fee, and none of it is published as a dollar amount on the vendor pages we store.

Do not cancel the old service on the assumption that the new one has already deposited the taxes. Run at least one payroll on the new system while you can still reach the old one. This dataset does not publish a required overlap in days, a setup fee, or a cancellation fee for the provider you are leaving. If a salesperson quotes one, it is not on this page.

Check whether the new plan files payroll taxes or only calculates them. Patriot Basic is the stored example of a plan that leaves filing to you. PEO plans (Justworks PEO and Deel PEO in this dataset) are co-employment products and are left out of the default rank for that reason. Moving from a payroll-only service to a PEO is a different contract, not a cheaper row in the table.

What we have stored for ADP RUN

ADP RUN is Quote only as of Nov 10, 2026. Quote only. ADP does not publish a RUN list price. A direct fetch of the packages page on November 10, 2026 returned HTTP 403 from this environment.

• Direct requests to adp.com returned HTTP 403 (Access Denied) on November 10, 2026, including the packages page and the small-business pricing-transparency article.
• The indexed text of the packages page names four packages — Essential Payroll, Enhanced Payroll, Complete Payroll & HR+, and HR Pro Payroll & HR — each with a Get Pricing button and no dollar amount.
• The indexed text of ADP's pricing-transparency article says RUN uses tailored quotes based on workforce, pay frequency, payment method, and services, rather than a published list price.
• No price is estimated here. Roll by ADP is a separate product with a published price.

Published alternatives
