Where each one falls short

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

Fond

  • Acquired by Reward Gateway and now sold as part of their employee engagement suite rather than independently

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
