WorkForce Software does time, scheduling and absence for large employers and is now branded ADP WorkForce Suite after ADP's acquisition. No price is published. It doesn't describe employee records or recruiting. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published, so there's nothing to set against the $2 to $9 a seat a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed. You start with a demo request. - **Features: C.** Time, scheduling and absence is a narrow slice of HR, and the pages read don't describe records or recruiting. It does that slice fully, so C. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you'd set it up with your own people data first, so it's an ordinary C. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with three listed integrations. No mobile or desktop app named. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from WorkForce Software's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among HR software - WorkForce Software's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 22 of the 101 other HR software we grade, and level with 33. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 34 of 101) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/hr-software ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of WorkForce Software you could make: time off and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 101 other HR software grade higher. - You could make: Time off and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when. - You could not: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with ADP Workforce Now, ADP Lyric HCM, ADP Global Payroll **Tags:** Time clock, Shift scheduling, Time off, Reports ## Alternatives - [HiBob](https://toolgpa.com/tools/hibob): HR platform for mid-sized global firms, with US and UK payroll.
