The Verdict
ADP is built for small businesses and mid market companies, with a focus on payroll-processing and tax-filing. DoorLoop targets small landlords and property managers and leads with rent-collection and tenant-screening.
On pricing, DoorLoop is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $59/mo compared to $79/mo for ADP. That $20/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
DoorLoop edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Feature-wise, ADP offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while DoorLoop takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: DoorLoop has a slight overall edge — but if industry leader with 70+ years of payroll expertise matters most to you, ADP may still be the right call.
