Where each one falls short

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

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

Freedcamp

  • Plans are differentiated mainly by file upload size, at 10 MB on free, 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business and 250 MB on Enterprise
  • The issue tracker, wiki, CRM, invoices and reports all require the Business plan at $7.49 per user per month
  • Backups start at Business and are weekly, becoming daily only on Enterprise
  • SAML SSO and white labelling are Enterprise only at $16.99 per user per month
  • AI usage is banded by plan rather than metered in stated units, described as limited, high and almost unlimited
