The short version

  • Only Milanote has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Beautiful.ai enterprise pricing requires contacting sales; Milanote the free plan caps the entire account at 100 notes, images or links and 10 file uploads rather than capping per board, so one properly worked project exhausts it and the tool stops working rather than degrading gracefully.

Where each one falls short

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

Beautiful.ai

  • Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales
  • Annual commitment for Pro plan; annual subscriptions non-refundable after 24 hours
  • Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable

Milanote

  • The free plan caps the entire account at 100 notes, images or links and 10 file uploads rather than capping per board, so one properly worked project exhausts it and the tool stops working rather than degrading gracefully.
  • The value of a board is its arrangement, and arrangement is the one thing export does not carry, so a PDF gives you a picture and a text export gives you the words while nothing reconstitutes the board in another tool.
  • Pricing is per person and the tool spreads naturally to reviewers and clients who only look and comment, so a team plan ends up covering people who never create anything.
  • There is no database layer, no properties, no filtering and no dependency tracking, so a project that starts on a Milanote board has to be re-entered somewhere else the moment it acquires owners and dates.
  • Offline support is minimal, so a board full of references is effectively unavailable without a connection, which is a real problem for a tool aimed at people who work on location and in meetings away from a desk.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Beautiful.ai: How much does Beautiful.ai's Pro plan cost?

Beautiful.ai Pro costs $14.50 per month when billed annually, with a 14-day free trial available. Monthly billing costs $45.

Source
Milanote: How long does the free plan last?

Indefinitely. It is limited by quantity rather than by time: 100 notes, images or links and 10 file uploads for the account as a whole, so it ends when you hit the cap rather than on a date.

Beautiful.ai: What is the pricing for Beautiful.ai's Team plan?

The Team plan for 2-20 team members costs $50 per month per user with monthly billing or $40 per month per user when billed annually.

Source
Milanote: Can I export a board?

You can produce PDFs and images of a board and extract the text, but the spatial arrangement is not portable, so nothing you export reconstructs the board in another tool.

Beautiful.ai: Is there a refund policy for Beautiful.ai subscriptions?

Annual Pro subscriptions receive a partial refund if requested within 24 hours. Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable.

Source
Milanote: Is it a project management tool?

No. There are no dates, dependencies or workload views. It suits the thinking phase, and the work has to be handed to a tracker once it becomes a plan.

Beautiful.ai: Does Beautiful.ai offer a free tier?

Beautiful.ai does not offer a free plan but provides a 14-day free trial for the Pro plan that requires a credit card.

Source
Milanote: Do collaborators need paid accounts?

Shared boards are unlimited even on the free plan, and the paid question is about who creates rather than who looks. Confirm the current plan terms before rolling it out to a client's team.
