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

Microsoft Power Automate

Free plan limited to 750 flow runs/month and standard connectors only; premium connectors require paid plans
Not suitable for long-running workflows; can fail unexpectedly without warning
Limited to simple linear logic; fails with complex workflows involving multiple stakeholders
Tasks cannot automate at scale when requiring more than approximately 60 users

Microsoft Power Automate: What's the difference between Premium and Process plans?
