Where each one falls short

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

ProfitWell

  • ProfitWell is now part of Paddle and its pricing page redirects to paddle.com, so it is no longer sold or priced independently
  • Reaching any figure requires going through Paddle's own pricing rather than a ProfitWell rate card

Cyfe

  • Dashboards are the billing unit, at 2 on the $29 Starter plan and 5 on the $39 Standard plan
  • Users are capped separately, at 1 on Starter and 2 on Standard, so a two person team needs the second tier for seats alone
  • Unlimited users only appears on the $119 Premier plan
  • Additional dashboards beyond a plan are $5 each
  • The Agency plan includes 10 clients with further clients at $19 each
