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
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
