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

QAD

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published on the site; the only routes are a demo request and a Contact Sales link
  • Field service management, enterprise asset management and quality management are presented as separate functional areas rather than a single priced bundle
