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
Morgen
- The free plan was discontinued in March 2026, so anyone wanting to try it long term now must pay after a 14-day trial, unlike Notion Calendar which remains free.
- The Team plan has a two seat minimum, so a genuinely solo user gets no benefit from the lower per-seat team pricing.
- Automatic task time blocking depends on the connected task manager data being accurate and well maintained, and a messy task list produces a messy schedule.
- It supports a wide range of integrations but each one depends on the third party service API remaining stable, so occasional sync issues can appear after a provider changes something.
- The subscription cost is meaningfully higher than competing calendar apps that remain free, so the value case rests entirely on the time-blocking and multi-source features being genuinely used.
