Where each one falls short

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

Remote

Employer of Record costs $699 per employee per month, charged per head with no volume tier published
Global Payroll carries an implementation fee to set up entities plus a recurring payroll delivery fee on top of the $29 per employee per month rate
Contractor Management Plus is $99 per contractor per month against $29 for the standard tier
The Equity product is limited to Delaware C-Corps
The PEO product bills in USD only and requires a US bank account

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
