The short version

  • Only Parabola has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Parabola the Basic plan allows 1 user and 1,000 credits with limited AI; ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate
  • They diverge on capability: Parabola covers Visual workflow builder, ProofHub covers Tasks.

Where each one falls short

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

Parabola

  • The Basic plan allows 1 user and 1,000 credits with limited AI
  • No price is published for either the self serve or the business tier
  • Credits are consumed when agents run, and further credits are bought pay as you go
  • Role based access control, SSO, version history and SLAs all sit on the unpriced business plan

ProofHub

  • The Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate
  • The Essential plan caps projects at 40 and storage at 15 GB
  • Storage is 100 GB even on the higher plan, which is low for a tool holding project files
  • There is no free tier, and the entry price is a flat $45 a month billed annually
