Replace ADP
ADP doesn't fit neatly into any single vertical above, but it belongs next to the workforce and compliance tools in this catalog as the payroll-and-HR giant every SMB eventually runs into: no published price ('not a starting price, not a range, nothing'), commonly-cited figures of ~$59 base + $4/employee/month are unsourced, and real contracts add separate fees for time tracking, benefits administration, and off-cycle/year-end payroll runs. Review volume is enormous — ConsumerAffairs alone logs 2,319 reviews at 4.3/5, and Trustpilot carries 140+ pages of reviews — but the written complaints are pointed: unresponsive support ('emails go unanswered and voicemails go into a black hole'), tax-filing errors that have cost customers IRS penalties, unauthorised charges that continue after cancellation, and termination fees customers say were never disclosed upfront.
Payroll tax-filing liability makes this the hardest rebuild in the catalog; only worth attempting above ~100 employees, where per-employee and add-on module fees compound most.
Cumulatively cheaper from year 1 onward.

Three steps, no surprises

We map the features your team actually relies on, not the whole bloated product.

Senior engineers rebuild it AI-fast. Founders share the cost and shape the first release.
We launch & run it
We host and run it for you for a low fixed annual fee, with our support behind it.
What is actually yours
What is yours
- Your data, fully exportableDownload everything, anytime. No vendor holds your history hostage.
- A licence that outlives usYour contract includes a source-code escrow clause: the code is deposited with an independent escrow agent before go-live, so your access is contractually protected even if Rollout IT ever stops trading.
- Your own isolated instanceSeparate servers, separate database, separate backups. Not shared infrastructure.
How the model stays fair
- Platform IP stays with Rollout ITThat is what keeps your build cost low and improvements flowing. You are not buying the source code, and you do not need to.
- No per-seat. Price fixed for 10 years.Add your whole team for free. Your fee is locked from day one, no annual hikes.
- We build it and run itSecurity patches, uptime, scaling: all covered by the flat annual fee. No developer retainer needed on your side.
