The short version

  • Only Freshteam has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Freshteam freshworks HRMS (formerly Freshteam) paid tiers as captured 19 February 2023 combined a per-employee monthly charge ($1.20 to $2.40+/employee/month) with a separate flat platform fee ($71 to $119+/month), on top of a $0 free tier; Kazoo the kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name
  • They diverge on capability: Freshteam covers Applicant Tracking, Kazoo covers Social recognition.
