Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Linearity Curve
- Limited to Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPad, iPhone) with no Windows or Linux support
- Requires annual or monthly subscription for commercial use, unlike competitors offering lifetime purchase options
- Free plan is severely limited to only 3 Curve files and 5GB storage
Zapier
- The free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action
- Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths, webhooks and the formatter all require a paid plan
- Premium app connectors are withheld from the free plan
- Free Zaps poll for new data every 15 minutes against 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team
- Paying monthly rather than annually costs 50 percent more, so the 2,000-task Professional plan is $73.50 a month instead of $49
