  • Per‑user pricing can become expensive for larger teams (users report per-user cost scaling as a pain point)
  • Limited/absent advanced AI features (several comparisons call out 'no AI capabilities')
  • Key third-party/payroll integrations are limited or not native u2014 payroll export only (CSV) rather than direct payroll integrations
  • Important features (availability/time-off, PTO tracking) gated behind the top-tier plan (Pro Max)
