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

June

  • The pricing page lists a single all-in-one plan with no price, no minimum and no named cost driver
  • There is no startup plan; the vendor states June is a fit for companies with at least $1M of ARR
  • Setup fees are charged separately and the vendor states they vary based on implementation complexity
  • The vendor states June is a poor fit for products with a large user base but low revenue per user
