ADP RUN
Small-business payroll and HR platform with automated taxes, employee self-service, AI-assisted payroll checks, HR support and ADP ecosystem integrations.
RUN Powered by ADP covers payroll, payroll tax filing, new-hire reporting, employee self-service, onboarding, reporting, AI-assisted payroll checks, HR tracking and progressively deeper HR support across Essential, Enhanced, Complete and HR Pro. Time, retirement, workers' compensation and health insurance are available as add-ons.
G2 currently rates RUN Powered by ADP 4.7/5 from 6,333 reviews and Capterra 4.6/5 from 1,565 with 4.6 ease of use and 4.5 customer service. Users consistently praise quick payroll and dependable compliance help, but some reviews cite support handoffs, correction workflows and navigation complexity.
ADP clearly publishes four package tiers and feature differences, but every tier still says 'Get pricing' rather than showing a numeric list price. Current promotional offers such as three free months can improve acquisition economics, but buyers need a quote to compare ongoing cost and add-on fees.
RUN connects to ADP Marketplace, payroll/accounting and time/benefits partners and approved APIs. ADP's security program includes SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports for select products/services, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications for select services/locations, MFA, federated identity, continuous monitoring and a vulnerability disclosure program.
