  • Limited query flexibility; requires thinking in terms of keys and indexes rather than ad-hoc queries

Pipefy

  • Free Starter tier caps at 5 processes even with up to 10 users
  • Business and Enterprise tiers publish no per-user price on the pricing page; both require contacting sales for a custom quote
  • Cancellations do not receive refunds even though the plan can be changed or stopped at any time
