Where each one falls short

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

Better Proposals

  • Documents are metered by tier, at 10 a month on Starter and 50 on Premium
  • The Starter plan at $13 a month is a single user
  • Custom domains, CRM integrations and the API all need Premium at $21 per user per month
  • Approvals, content locking and advanced permissions are Enterprise only at $42 per user per month
  • The Nudge follow-up feature is a $10 per user per month add-on, and custom design starts at $1,495

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
