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

ProtoPie

  • The free plan allows 2 prototypes, 8 scenes per prototype and 50MB of cloud storage
  • Free prototypes carry a watermark and shareable links require the Basic plan
  • Saving prototypes locally requires the Pro plan
  • Team libraries and handoff recordings require the Pro plan
  • Basic caps storage at 500MB and prototypes at 20
  • Single sign on, private servers, custom fonts and custom hardware integrations are Enterprise only
  • Enterprise requires a minimum of 3 seats and is priced by quote
  • Connect Core is a paid add on at $20 per user per month
