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
Zoho Projects
- The free plan allows 5 users, 3 projects and 5 GB of storage
- Custom profiles, roles and fields require the Enterprise plan
- Read only users are rationed by tier, at 10 on Enterprise and 100 on Ultimate
- Ultimate allocates storage per user with a 150 GB organisation minimum, so small teams pay for capacity they cannot use
- The pricing page does not display per user costs for any paid tier
