Where each one falls short

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

Cloze

  • Four paid tiers run from $17 to $42 per user per month, and each withholds a different set of features rather than simply adding capacity
  • Campaign automation, marketing mail and generative AI require the Business Platinum plan at $42 per user per month
  • Lead routing, sub team hierarchies and enterprise controls are Platinum only
  • Even the Business Gold plan at $29 per user excludes the matching engine and lead capture
  • The concierge service is an add on at $20 per user per month with a $500 monthly minimum
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing

Hive

  • The free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage
  • The Starter plan at $5 per user per month is limited to 10 projects
  • Eight capabilities are sold as $5 per user add ons on the Teams plan, including CRM, timesheets, proofing, resourcing, advanced dashboards, external users and SSO
  • Buying SSO plus a few of those add ons therefore costs more than the $12 base seat itself
  • AI credits are metered monthly at 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 by plan
