PLYNTUM costs $360 a month on Scale, because Core stops at 10 members. That is about the same as 15 seats at $25, such as Productive Professional ($375) or Teamwork.com Accelerate ($374.85). Entry plans such as Productive Essential ($150) cost less, and so do monday.com Pro ($285 for 15 seats) and Paymo Pro ($253.50).","sections":[{"heading":"The short answer","html":"<p>Fifteen people is where per-workspace pricing is weakest. PLYNTUM’s 11th member moves the workspace from Core ($120) to Scale ($360 billed annually), so at 11 to 14 people PLYNTUM costs more than a tool at $25 a seat. At exactly 15 the two meet.
