Where each one falls short

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

Autonoly

Pricing is credit-based, so heavy web-scraping or long-running workflows can consume the monthly allowance quickly and require add-on credit packs.
The free plan allows 1,000 credits and three concurrent workflows a month, which is enough to trial the product but not to run anything continuously.
No published mobile apps (iOS/Android); the platform is web-based only.
Company details such as founding date, founders, and team size are not disclosed on the site, making it harder to evaluate the vendor's track record.
As an AI-agent-driven scraper/executor, reliability on sites with aggressive bot protection or frequently changing layouts may vary compared to purpose-built RPA tools.

Gusto

Customer service can be slow and unresponsive to issues
Weak reporting capabilities, cannot export data to spreadsheets for analysis
Support staff lacks deep payroll expertise and knowledge
Rehired employees do not have settings reset, causing manual cleanup work
City tax handling requires additional monitoring and monitoring
Onboarding can have issues with bank account verification and tax registration
