Nifty

  • The free plan allows 100 MB of storage and 2 active projects

  • Active projects are capped at 100 on Pro despite the flat fee
  • Time tracking, custom fields and workflow automations all require the Pro plan
  • Microsoft SSO is Business only and SAML is Unlimited only, at $399 a month
  • White labelling and IP restriction are Unlimited only

Pipedrive

  • Email account connectivity restricted to maximum of five email accounts per user
