Productivity & writing · alternatives
Teams leave clariBI mostly over where the AI starts. Free and Lite include no AI credits, plain-English questions and forecasts need Starter at $99 per month, and the REST API, team workspaces and scheduled reports need Professional at $199. SSO and audit export sit on Enterprise at $999 per month, and downgrades do not refund the current period.
The listed alternatives solve parts of the problem differently. Make is a visual workflow builder with Core at $9 per month (price shown for 10k credits a month), and Zapier connects 9,000+ apps, with Professional at $19.99 for 750 tasks a month; both automate data movement rather than build dashboards. Microsoft Copilot works inside Word, Excel and other Microsoft apps, with Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.99 per month. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) answers questions grounded in your own sources; its starting price is not stated in our verified data. All four have a free option.
