The short version

  • They diverge on capability: Airbase covers Corporate cards, Lattice covers Performance reviews.

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.

Lattice

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