Where each one falls short

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

Assistant.to

  • No longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it
  • Its scheduling now sits inside a wider Salesforce-focused sales tool rather than being a standalone add-in

Nifty

  • The free plan allows 100 MB of storage and 2 active projects
  • The standard plans are flat monthly fees with hard member caps, at 20 on Pro and 50 on Business, so the 21st member forces a jump from $79 to $124 a month
  • Active projects are capped at 100 on Pro despite the flat fee
  • Time tracking, custom fields and workflow automations all require the Pro plan
  • Microsoft SSO is Business only and SAML is Unlimited only, at $399 a month
  • White labelling and IP restriction are Unlimited only
