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

TravelPerk

  • Pricing not transparently disclosed; organisations must request quotes and calculators to understand costs
  • Travel supplier inventory limited to partnerships (178 countries); less coverage than global GDS systems (Galileo, Sabre, Amadeus)
  • Requires integration setup with ERP and accounting systems; no standalone use for non-integrated workflows
  • Geographic limitations: primarily serves US, Canada, and EU; emerging market coverage is limited
  • Cashback programmes (Perk Card, Lodge Card) require company adoption; employee reimbursement workflows less developed
