Where each one falls short

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

Nifty

  • The free plan allows 100 MB of storage and 2 active projects
  • The standard plans are flat monthly fees with hard member caps, at 20 on Pro and 50 on Business, so the 21st member forces a jump from $79 to $124 a month
  • 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

Teamup

  • No dedicated desktop application for Windows or macOS; only web and mobile apps available
  • Cannot edit events offline; mobile app limits editing to read-only when disconnected
  • Mobile app has significantly fewer features compared to the web version, requiring users to switch to browser for complex scheduling tasks
