Where each one falls short

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

Copy.ai

  • Chat plan limited to 5 seats; must upgrade to Growth plan ($1,000/month) for teams of 10+
  • Workflow credits limited to 20K per month on Growth plan; higher usage requires upgrading to Expansion ($2,000/month) or above

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
