The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Firstup none of the three packages carries a published price; every tier shows Get a Quote and the page directs buyers to Talk to sales; Lattice a $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • They diverge on capability: Firstup covers AI-powered delivery, Lattice covers Performance reviews.

Where each one falls short

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

Firstup

  • None of the three packages carries a published price; every tier shows Get a Quote and the page directs buyers to Talk to sales
  • AI content creation, intelligent delivery timing, translations and user generated content all require the Professional package
  • Employee journey automation, the flow builder and journey analytics require the top Premier package
  • Intranet capabilities are a paid add-on on top of any package rather than part of the platform
  • No free tier, trial price or self-serve signup is published

Lattice

  • A $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • Billing is annual only
  • The platform is sold as three separate base products at $10, $8 and $4 per seat per month, so a full deployment stacks rather than being one price
  • Compensation and Grow are further add ons at $6 and $4 per seat per month on top
