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

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
