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
Velocity Global
- Velocity Global has rebranded to Pebl and velocityglobal.com redirects to hellopebl.com
- No pricing is published for the Employer of Record service; the site routes to a demo request with no published per-employee rate
- The offering is an Employer of Record arrangement, so the employee is legally employed by the provider rather than the client
