Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Pipefy
- Free Starter tier caps at 5 processes even with up to 10 users
- Business and Enterprise tiers publish no per-user price on the pricing page; both require contacting sales for a custom quote
- Cancellations do not receive refunds even though the plan can be changed or stopped at any time
Hive
- The free plan is capped at 200 MB of storage
- The Starter plan at $5 per user per month is limited to 10 projects
- Eight capabilities are sold as $5 per user add ons on the Teams plan, including CRM, timesheets, proofing, resourcing, advanced dashboards, external users and SSO
- Buying SSO plus a few of those add ons therefore costs more than the $12 base seat itself
- AI credits are metered monthly at 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 by plan
