Where each one falls short

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

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

Homebase

  • Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
  • Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
  • Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan
