The short version

  • Only Profit.co has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Kazoo the kazoohr.com domain now redirects to worktango.com, so Kazoo is no longer sold under that name; Profit.co no published pricing at all; every deal is a custom proposal built with their sales team
  • They diverge on capability: Kazoo covers Social recognition, Profit.co covers OKR management.

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

Profit.co

  • No published pricing at all; every deal is a custom proposal built with their sales team
  • Split into core modules and add-ons, so strategy roadmaps, one-to-ones, rewards and engagement are each extra rather than included
  • There is no free tier
