Fyle
- Billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
- The Growth plan carries a 5 user minimum and the Business plan a 10 user minimum, so the entry cost is set by the floor rather than the team

- Both published plans are billed annually
- Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations with 250 or more employees
Paycom
- No public API and no transparent integration capabilities
- Limited integrations with third-party ATS, LMS, or performance tools
- Custom pricing makes cost forecasting difficult
- Proprietary system philosophy limits flexibility compared to more open platforms
- Does not support global payroll and benefits
