Where each one falls short

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

Airbase

  • Airbase was acquired by Paylocity; its pricing page now redirects to paylocity.com/pricing and the product is marketed as 'Airbase, a Paylocity Company' within Paylocity's HCM platform rather than as a standalone product.

Conta Azul

  • Entry Essencial plan is restricted to businesses earning up to R$81K annually and only 1 user access, so it does not scale with the company
  • Plan eligibility is tied to annual revenue bands (up to R$81K, R$81K-R$360K, R$360K-R$1.5M, R$1.5M+), not just feature needs, so a fast-growing business must upgrade plans as revenue crosses thresholds
