The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Podio the free plan stops at 5 users and 100 items across the whole organisation; Visor integrations are capped by plan, at 1 on free, 2 on Starter and 3 on Team, so connecting Jira, Salesforce and HubSpot together needs the top tier
  • They diverge on capability: Podio covers Workspaces, Visor covers Two-way sync.
