Where each one falls short

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

greytHR

Published starting price of INR 2,495/month covers only up to 50 employees, so larger companies must move to a higher, unpublished tier
The platform serves 34,000+ companies and its entry tier is scoped by headcount rather than by feature set, meaning growth past 50 employees forces a plan change

Rive

Limited ecosystem of plugins and third-party templates compared to established tools like After Effects
Not ideal for simple looping animations or static graphics that do not require interactivity
Production use can expose bugs and rough edges in the editor and runtime
No support for 3D animations; limited to 2D vector-based graphics
