Automate.io
- No longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down
- Existing automations were not portable to Notion, so users had to rebuild elsewhere
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
