Where each one falls short

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

Bear

  • Built for Apple hardware only, with no Windows, Android or web client
  • Free tier is limited to 3 themes, 1 app icon and restricted export formats; iCloud sync requires Bear Pro
  • Bear Pro is $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year after a 7 day free trial

Bitrix24

  • The free plan is limited to 2 users and 5 GB of storage
  • Plans are flat-rate blocks with hard user ceilings, so exceeding 5, 50 or 100 users means jumping a tier rather than adding a seat
  • Monthly billing is roughly 40 percent dearer than annual, at $69 against $49 on Basic
  • Sales automation and invoicing need Standard at $99 a month, and workflow automation and HR need Professional at $199
  • SOC compliance and the 99.95 percent SLA are Enterprise only, from $399 a month
