Starter is limited to 20 users, 100 GB of storage and one-on-one video meetings; its listed allowances also include 18 months of message history and 1,000 automations per month. Basic, Pro and Enterprise list higher user, storage, meeting or automation allowances. The maker describes Starter as intended for small teams with simple communication needs and Enterprise for large companies needing advanced security and organizational management.

Tilly combines calendars and tasks in a daily plan, with a brief that highlights what is coming up, conflicts, and open time. It connects Google Calendar, Outlook and Microsoft 365, iCloud, CalDAV servers, and subscribed ICS feeds. Tasks appear alongside calendar events so users can judge them against available time. Booking links use availability across connected calendars while showing guests open times, not the events behind them. Tilly checks for overlaps across visible calendars; Pro can recommend which meeting to move and which to keep. It reads calendars into one view without copying events or busy blocks between accounts. Assistant-prepared calendar or task changes wait for explicit approval. Tilly is available on iOS, macOS, and the web. The Free plan supports two calendar accounts and costs nothing. Tilly Pro costs $7.99 a month, and Tilly Pro Annual costs $59.99 a year; eligible new subscribers can get a 14-day trial. Tilly says calendar data is encrypted in transit and at rest and is not sold to third parties.
