Where each one falls short

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

Engagedly

  • There is a minimum spend of $7,500 per year regardless of headcount
  • All published per-user rates are billed annually rather than monthly
  • The platform is sold as separate modules, so performance, learning, survey and recognition capabilities are priced individually and stack up
  • Per-user rates are quoted as ranges such as $5 to $8 for performance and $3 to $5 for learning, with the actual figure varying by employee count and bundling
  • Recognition and rewards is a further $2 per user per month on top of the other modules
  • Every plan routes through Book a Demo rather than self-serve checkout

Homebase

  • Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
  • Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
  • Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan
