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
