Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Achievers

  • Pricing is not published and requires a demo
  • Aimed at mid-market and enterprise organisations rather than small teams
  • Sold as separate named modules, Recognize, Reward and Celebrate, so a full programme means more than one line on the quote

Assembly

  • Client counts are capped by tier, at 50 on Starter and 500 on Professional
  • Automation tasks are metered, at 100 a month on Starter and 1,000 on Professional
  • Extra internal users cost $29 each on Professional and $59 on Advanced, on top of the plan
  • Full white-labelling requires Advanced at $499 a month and SSO is Enterprise only at $2,000
  • The workspace locks when a trial lapses and the account may be deleted after 30 days
