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

  • 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

Plex Manufacturing Cloud

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Plex Systems' homepage on 24 December 2019 named two distinct products, Plex Manufacturing Cloud and Plex Classic, sold only via 'Product Demo' with no price figure published.
