The short version

  • Only Claap has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Apptivo the tiers gate the number of apps rather than only the depth, so a business that buys Lite at 15 US dollars because of the CRM and later needs an app in the 46-app Premium set faces a 67 per cent per-seat increase to unlock it.; Claap conversation intelligence depth, coaching analytics and forecasting are thinner than at the large United States revenue intelligence platforms, so a team wanting deal risk scoring will find the analysis shallow.
  • They diverge on capability: Apptivo covers CRM core, Claap covers Meeting recording.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Apptivo

  • The tiers gate the number of apps rather than only the depth, so a business that buys Lite at 15 US dollars because of the CRM and later needs an app in the 46-app Premium set faces a 67 per cent per-seat increase to unlock it.
  • Workflow automation is capped at 25 rules on both Lite and Premium, which is low for any business automating more than a basic sales process, and lifting it means jumping to Ultimate at 40 US dollars.
  • Each app is shallower than the dedicated product it replaces, so teams that outgrow one module end up buying a specialist tool anyway and lose the single-record advantage that justified the suite.
  • There is no free tier, only a 30-day trial, so evaluating the breadth properly against real data requires paying or rushing the trial window.
  • The interface is dense and inconsistent between apps because they were built over many years, which lengthens onboarding and produces persistent user complaints in teams that are not technically confident.

Claap

  • Conversation intelligence depth, coaching analytics and forecasting are thinner than at the large United States revenue intelligence platforms, so a team wanting deal risk scoring will find the analysis shallow.
  • The most useful capabilities including CRM auto-complete and coaching sit on the Pro tier at roughly three times the Starter price, so the cheap entry point is not the price most teams end up paying.
  • Advertised rates are annual billing; monthly billing costs materially more, and the published figures do not make that obvious at first glance.
  • The integration catalogue is smaller than the incumbents, so a team running a less common CRM or sales engagement tool may have to fall back on manual export.
  • As a smaller European vendor it carries fewer enterprise security and compliance references, which slows or blocks procurement at large regulated buyers.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Apptivo: Does Apptivo have a free plan?

No. There is a 30-day free trial; the cheapest ongoing plan is Lite at 15 US dollars per user per month billed annually.

Claap: Why is Claap cheaper than per-seat competitors?

Because viewers and guests are free. You pay only for contributors who record, which suits teams where most people just consume recordings.

Apptivo: What is the real difference between Lite and Premium?

Mostly app count and dashboards: Lite opens 18 apps, Premium opens 46 with custom dashboards. Check which specific app you need before choosing on price.

Claap: What does it cost?

Starter at around eight euros per licence a month and Pro at around twenty four euros, both billed yearly, plus a free Basic tier and quoted Business and Enterprise plans.

Apptivo: Is monthly billing more expensive?

Yes, by roughly a third. Lite is 15 annually versus 20 monthly, Premium 25 versus 30, Ultimate 40 versus 50.

Claap: Does it write to the CRM?

Yes, CRM auto-complete populates deal fields from the call, but it is a Pro tier feature rather than being available on Starter.

Apptivo: Are all fifty apps really included?

Only on the top tiers. The lower tiers include a subset, and the app list per tier is the thing to verify before buying.

Claap: Is it suitable for enterprise?

It fits small and mid sized revenue teams best. Large regulated buyers will find fewer compliance references than at the established United States vendors.
