Where each one falls short

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

Employment Hero

  • HR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
  • Core features like payroll, chat and rostering are unbundled add-ons billed separately per employee, for example Managed Payroll costs an extra AUD 20/employee/month with a AUD 400 monthly minimum

Notion AI

  • Full AI access including agents and meeting notes requires the Business plan at $20 per member per month, double the $10 Plus plan
  • The Free and Plus plans offer trial AI capabilities rather than the full feature set
  • AI is not sold separately from the workspace seat, so every member must be upgraded to reach it
  • Zero data retention with LLM providers is Enterprise only, which is custom priced
