The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Hive the free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage; Visor integrations are capped by plan, at 1 on free, 2 on Starter and 3 on Team, so connecting Jira, Salesforce and HubSpot together needs the top tier
  • They diverge on capability: Hive covers Tasks, Visor covers Two-way sync.
