Some advanced features and integrations, such as Salesforce automation, HRIS connections and premium branding, require higher-tier plans or paid add-ons.

Custom packaging and branded box programs can be relatively expensive for smaller organizations or tight budgets. Admin navigation and workflow setup (for example, certain Salesforce logging flows or switching between views) can be confusing and require configuration effort.
