Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Kanbanize

  • No per user price or minimum user count is published, despite the page being headed simple pricing
  • Automation rules are a paid add on on both plans, capped at 300 on Standard
  • SSO is a paid add on rather than included at either tier
  • File storage is 100 GB on Standard against 1 TB on Enterprise, and API calls are capped on Standard without the limit being stated
  • A dedicated cloud instance, IP whitelisting and 24/7 support are Enterprise only

Zenoti

  • Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
  • Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
  • Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
  • Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
