Plans
In their own words
Hive
Hive brings projects, tasks, approvals, billing, and related team work into one platform. Teams can plan with project views, dashboards, goals, live reporting, templates, custom fields, and portfolios, then collaborate through Notes, action cards with comments and attachments, and forms for internal or external teammates. Its listed AI tools draft email replies, convert meeting transcripts into action items, build projects, proof content, and create dashboard widgets. Hive lists more than 1,000 integrations, including Google Drive, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Slack, and QuickBooks. The Free plan is described for light project management and includes unlimited tasks and collaborative Notes, 200MB of storage, and up to 10 workspace members. Starter is an entry-level plan with up to 10 members and 10 projects. Free is free forever; Starter costs $5.00 per user per month and Teams costs $12.00 per user per month. Hive says workspace content stays private to the organization and describes network security controls and hourly backups. It requires an internet connection, so offline access is unavailable.
