  • Workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • SAML SSO, custom roles and API access are Enterprise only at $25 per user per month
  • The Enterprise plan carries a 5 user minimum and requires an annual subscription

  • Every published rate assumes annual billing, which the vendor prices 20% below monthly

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
