Where each one falls short

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

NEOGOV

  • Each module is shallower than the specialist product it competes with, so agencies buying the full suite for coherence accept weaker performance management and learning than they would get separately.
  • Policy management arrived through the PowerDMS acquisition rather than being built in, and the join between it and the rest of the suite still reads as two products.
  • Implementation is long and configuration heavy because the civil service rules that make the product valuable have to be encoded for your jurisdiction, and that work is billed.
  • Pricing is not published and scales with headcount, so a large agency can pay several times what a comparable one pays without knowing it unless someone reads the public contracts.
  • Private equity ownership since the Warburg Pincus investment has coincided with an acquisition led strategy, and buyers should expect further products bolted on rather than deeper integration of the existing ones.

Tuta

  • Individual plan pricing only shown in EUR; no USD conversion provided on site
  • Family plan pricing separate (EUR 3 or EUR 8 per additional user) not included in main pricing
  • Shared mailboxes require additional EUR 3-8 monthly charges

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

NEOGOV: Why not use a commercial applicant tracking system?

Because civil service rules such as ranked eligibility lists, rule of three certification and veterans preference are not expressible in commercial products, so the statutory steps end up in spreadsheets.

Tuta: How much does Tuta email cost?

Tuta offers a free plan with 1 GB storage. Paid plans are EUR 3/month (Revolutionary) with 20 GB storage and 15 email aliases, and EUR 8/month (Legend) with 500 GB storage and 30 email aliases. Family plan add-ons cost EUR 3-8 per additional mailbox member monthly.
