Where each one falls short

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

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

MeisterTask

  • The free plan is limited to 3 projects, 5 notes and 20 AI credits
  • Recurring tasks and automations are excluded from the free plan entirely
  • Timeline views, subtasks, custom fields and custom reports require the Business plan at $24 per user per month
  • Subtasks being a Business feature means task breakdown is unavailable on the $12.50 Pro plan
  • SSO, workload planning and portfolios are Enterprise only with no published price
