The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Lattice a $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor; Breathe HR pricing is banded by headcount, starting at £24 per month for 1 to 10 people, £44 per month for 11 to 20 and £99 per month for 21 to 50
  • They diverge on capability: Lattice covers Performance reviews, Breathe HR covers Employee Database.

Where each one falls short

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

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

Breathe HR

  • Pricing is banded by headcount, starting at £24 per month for 1 to 10 people, £44 per month for 11 to 20 and £99 per month for 21 to 50
  • Plans are capped by band up to 151 to 200 people, so it is not sold to organisations above that range on the published ladder
  • The free trial is 14 days
  • Health and safety, e-learning and other modules are sold as add-ons on top of the core HR plan
  • Pricing is quoted in pounds and the product is marketed to UK SMEs
