The short version

  • Only Oyster HR has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; Oyster HR employer of Record plan is priced per employee per month at USD 699, not a flat team rate

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

Oyster HR

  • Employer of Record plan is priced per employee per month at USD 699, not a flat team rate
  • Global Contractors plan is free for only the first 30 days, then USD 29 per contractor per month
  • A separate currency conversion fee applies whenever payment currency differs from contract currency
  • People Partner Services are billed at USD 300 per hour on top of the platform subscription
