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
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
