&lt;p&gt;For a 100-person company, I’d look closely at what starts breaking first as headcount grows—usually payroll complexity, reporting, or onboarding consistency. The best fit may be the platform that removes the next likely bottleneck rather than the one with the longest feature list.&lt;/p&gt;
