  • SAML SSO, custom roles and API access are Enterprise only at $25 per user per month
  • The Enterprise plan carries a 5 user minimum and requires an annual subscription
  • Custom fields and calendar view are excluded from the entry Core plan
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing, which the vendor prices 20% below monthly
