Plannex's limits come in steps. The free Nomad plan is capped at 1 member, 1 blueprint and 15 nodes, enough for one small project. Pro at $19.99 per month allows only 5 members and 10 blueprints, which pushes growing teams to Agency at $49.99 per month. Upload size runs from 10 to 100 MB depending on plan, and custom integrations are quote-based with unknown cost. Prices checked on 2026-09-29.
Notion AI is the flexible-workspace option: Plus is $12 per member per month ($10 per member per month billed yearly), with unlimited blocks and file uploads, custom forms and sites. Note that AI there is only a limited trial. You lose the approval gates and client portal that define Plannex, though. Zapier does not replace a planning canvas at all; at $19.99 per month for 750 tasks it is useful if the pain is manual handoffs between your tools. Both listed tools have a free tier.
