Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Awardco
- Tiers are defined by how many recognition programme types you may run, two on Standard and four on Scale, rather than by features or headcount
- Small organisations under 100 employees start at $3,000, so there is a floor regardless of size
- The A-Pay card, Company Store and Awardco Engage are premium add-ons
- No per-employee price is published; larger organisations must go through sales
Workhuman
