The short version

  • Only Assistant.to has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Assistant.to no longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it
  • They diverge on capability: Aha! covers Strategic roadmaps, Assistant.to covers In-email scheduling.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Aha!

  • Sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user
  • Roadmaps at $59 per user per month is expensive next to general project tools, and Discovery and Ideas add $39 each
  • The Develop integration with Roadmaps requires the Enterprise or Enterprise+ tier
  • Annual billing is by invoice only; monthly is card

Assistant.to

  • No longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it
  • Its scheduling now sits inside a wider Salesforce-focused sales tool rather than being a standalone add-in
