What this comparison can and cannot tell you

Everything above comes from the two vendors’ published pricing and product documentation. It tells you what each product is designed to do and what it costs. It does not tell you how either behaves over a year with a real team — whether a carryover cap fires on the right date, or what the audit log records after a policy edit. Our Leavo review lists exactly what has and has not been verified and publishes the test protocol.

Can I switch from one to the other without losing balances?
