Where each one falls short

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

Clay

  • Two separate meters run at once, actions and data credits, and a plan can exhaust either independently
  • Data credit overage is sold at a 30% premium over the plan rate, so exceeding the allowance costs more per unit than planning for it
  • The free plan allows 500 actions, 100 data credits and 200 rows per table
  • The entry paid plan starts at $167 a month, and both paid prices are starting figures rather than fixed
  • The free plan cannot buy overage at all, so hitting the limit stops work rather than billing for it

Structured

  • No monthly view available, only daily and weekly views, limiting ability to preview long-term schedules
  • Cannot export to Excel, PDF, or other printable formats; only JSON export available on Apple devices
  • Calendar import requires Pro subscription (except on web where free import is available)
  • Android and web versions significantly lag behind iOS version in features and performance
  • One-way calendar sync only; cannot export Structured tasks back to Google Calendar or other external calendar apps
