Breathe is a solid UK HR product for small teams. The pain point is the tier ladder: Micro caps at 10 employees, and bracket-jumping from one tier to the next adds £20+/month at a stroke. Work-Lynx scales linearly: £2.50 base + £1 per employee. 10 staff = £12.50/mo. 25 staff = £27.50/mo. No surprise cliffs.

When Breathe fits
  • ·You're a sub-10-staff team and don't need GPS clock-in
  • ·You like their specific UX and your team is fully trained
  • ·You're bundled with a Breathe-partner accountant
  • ·You don't care about the tier-cliff jump because you're stable at 10
Why Work-Lynx beats it
  • Truly linear pricing: £1/employee, no bracket cliffs
  • GPS clock-in with geofences (Breathe doesn't do this on any tier)
  • Ask an employment question: UK employment-law AI advisor included on every plan
  • Disciplinary + grievance workflow built in, not an add-on
  • Mobile-first employee self-service for clock-in / leave / payslips
