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

Timepage

  • iOS and Apple Watch only; no Android or web application
  • Limited platform coverage compared to cross-platform alternatives
  • One-time $4.99 price may feel premium for a calendar app without subscription model
  • No native macOS desktop application
