Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Ashby
- No native iOS or Android mobile app; only mobile web access with limited functionality
- Email lookup quotas and limited bulk actions for high-volume sourcing workflows
- Advanced workflow branching and custom fields system are less flexible than competitors
Netlify
- The free tier is an individual account with 300 credits; team members require the Pro plan at $20 a month
- Everything is metered in credits, so bandwidth at 20 credits per GB and production deploys at 15 credits each consume the allowance in ways a bandwidth figure alone would not show
- Compute is billed at 10 credits per GB-hour, so server-rendered work costs more than static hosting
- Running past the allowance means buying credit packs, at $5 for 500 on Personal and $10 for 1,500 on Pro
- AI inference is priced by model rather than at a flat credit rate
