Where each one falls short

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

- Health and safety, e-learning and other modules are sold as add-ons on top of the core HR plan
- Pricing is quoted in pounds and the product is marketed to UK SMEs
