Paycom

No public API and no transparent integration capabilities
Limited integrations with third-party ATS, LMS, or performance tools
Custom pricing makes cost forecasting difficult
Proprietary system philosophy limits flexibility compared to more open platforms
Does not support global payroll and benefits

Zenoti

Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
