Clearbit

  • Limited data for smaller or private companies
  • Now integrated into HubSpot as Breeze Intelligence, may affect standalone availability

Paymo

  • The free plan allows 1 user, 1 client and 2 projects
  • The Solo plan is still capped at 3 clients and 5 projects
  • Gantt charts, task dependencies and scheduling require the Plus plan
  • Integrations are excluded from both the free and Solo plans
