Nifty

  • 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

Todoist

  • No built-in time tracking for tasks; requires third-party integration like Toggl

  • Calendar view and advanced filtering only available on paid plans
