The short version

  • Only Woven has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Hive the free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage; Woven the Internet Archive's capture of Woven's homepage on 30 December 2020 named specific features (Smart Templates, Scheduling Links, Availability Sharing, Group Polls) and confirmed integration with Google, G Suite and Office 365, but the linked Pricing page itself could not be retrieved from the archive.
  • They diverge on capability: Hive covers Tasks, Woven covers Smart scheduling.

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

Woven

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Woven's homepage on 30 December 2020 named specific features (Smart Templates, Scheduling Links, Availability Sharing, Group Polls) and confirmed integration with Google, G Suite and Office 365, but the linked Pricing page itself could not be retrieved from the archive.
