The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Kazoo the kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name; Lattice a $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • They diverge on capability: Kazoo covers Social recognition, Lattice covers Performance reviews.

Where each one falls short

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

Kazoo

  • The kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name
  • No Kazoo-branded pricing, plan or per-employee rate remains published at the original domain

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
