In their own words
Hive
Hive is a work management platform for teams, bringing projects, tasks, approvals, billing and related work together. It supports time tracking, resourcing, time and cost reporting, and billable-time submission. Hive Notes lets teammates edit collaborative documents in real time before, during and after meetings. Buzz AI includes AI Mail, meeting Sidekick, project generation, AI proofing and dashboards. Workflow automations can run inside Hive and across connected apps, including recurring jobs and workflows built with Buzz. Native integrations include Google Drive, Google Calendar, Dropbox, QuickBooks, Zoom, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, GitHub and Box; a REST API and Hive Automate recipes provide further integration options. Hive is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and web, with API access. The Free plan costs nothing and allows up to 10 workspace members, with unlimited tasks and collaborative notes. Starter costs $5 a month per user. During the first two weeks on any plan, users get the full feature suite without providing a credit card. Hive requires Wi-Fi and cannot be used offline.
