Where each one falls short

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

Appointy

  • Free tier caps at 1 staff, 5 services and 100 appointments per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024)
  • Paid tiers ranged from $19.99 to $79.99 per month billed annually ($29.99 to $99.99 billed monthly), with extra staff seats billed separately at $5 to $7.50 per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024)

Balsamiq Wireframes

  • Starter plan is capped at 10 projects and costs $16 per editor per month ($192/year)
  • Teams plan raises the cap to only 100 projects at $24 per editor per month; even Enterprise tops out at 400 projects
  • AI credits are metered per editor per month (500 on Starter, 1,000 on Teams, 2,500 on Enterprise), so AI features have a hard usage ceiling beyond the base seat price
