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

Rocket.Chat

  • No prices, tier names with numbers, or minimum seats are published anywhere on the pricing page; all three paid editions (Commercial, Government, Defense) route to Contact sales or Contact us
  • The free community edition is not represented on the pricing page at all, which lists only the three quote-only enterprise tiers
