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

Sked Social

  • Basic plan is limited to a single user and one profile per platform.
  • Internal and external approval workflows are paid add-ons on the Grow plan rather than included.
  • Extra profiles and users beyond plan limits carry additional annual fees.
  • Threads and Snapchat only support notification-based posting, not full auto-publishing.
