Where each one falls short

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

Sawyer

  • The Launch plan looks free but forces a marketplace listing at 30 percent commission, so a single high-value camp booking through the marketplace can cost more than a year of the Grow subscription would have.
  • Marketplace commission applies to the order value, not the margin, so low-margin providers can lose money on a marketplace booking.
  • Payment processing fees are charged separately by Stripe on top of the subscription and any commission, which the plan comparison does not surface clearly.
  • The step from Grow to Scale doubles the monthly cost for account management and integrations rather than for capability most providers need, making the middle tier the only sensible choice for many.
  • It is built for consumer activity businesses, so providers who invoice schools, councils or corporate clients will find the billing model a poor fit.

Teamgantt

  • The free plan is limited to 1 project and 40 tasks
  • Pricing is per project rather than per user, so cost scales with how much work is tracked
  • The Basic plan at $10 a month allows a single manager
  • Project health reports, cost loaded scheduling and custom boards are paid add ons on Basic at $12 to $24 a month each
  • The Builder Edition advertises $99 a month and rises to $199 after 3 months
