Where each one falls short

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

Motivosity

  • Pricing is custom, with no published per-employee rate
  • Small business plans carry a minimum spend of $3,000 a year, so a small team pays that floor whatever its headcount
  • Sold as eleven separate modules, so recognition, wellness, surveys and rewards are each priced on top of the platform

Employment Hero

  • HR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
  • Core features like payroll, chat and rostering are unbundled add-ons billed separately per employee, for example Managed Payroll costs an extra AUD 20/employee/month with a AUD 400 monthly minimum
