  • HIPAA compliance (BAA signature) exclusive to Premium tier at $49/month

Lattice

  • A $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor

  • The platform is sold as three separate base products at $10, $8 and $4 per seat per month, so a full deployment stacks rather than being one price
  • Compensation and Grow are further add ons at $6 and $4 per seat per month on top
