Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    An hour to create a portal and first project; longer to set up blueprints and custom fields.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Needing SSO, critical path or cross-project dependencies means moving to Enterprise.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: integrates with Slack, Teams, GitHub and Zapier as well as Zoho apps.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
