BambooHR

Organisations of 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 a month, so a very small team pays far more per head than the listed per-employee price
Per-employee pricing starts at 26 employees, from $10 on Core
Performance management, 360 reviews and recognition all require Pro at $17 per employee per month
Compensation management, salary benchmarking and advanced analytics are Elite only at $25 per employee per month
Compliance training is rationed by tier, at 1 course on Core against 300 on Elite

Sitebulb

Desktop plans are limited to a single user, so teams need Sitebulb Cloud or paid add-on seats to collaborate.
Large sites near or above the 500,000 URL Pro limit require reconfiguration or the Cloud tier to avoid hitting crawl caps.
Desktop crawling relies on local machine resources, so audit speed and scale depend on the user's hardware rather than cloud infrastructure.
