The findings below are arithmetic on those list prices for a team of 10 people.</p><ol><li><strong>The entry cost for 10 people ranges from $29.90 to $530 a month.</strong> The cheapest paid plan that covers 10 people is TimeCamp Starter at $29.90 billed annually, followed by Clockify Basic at $39.90; the most expensive entry plan is Function Point Standardize at $530, plus an onboarding fee. The median of the 17 tools priced in dollars is $99 a month.

For 10 people, on the prices read:</p><ul><li><strong>Time tracking on a higher plan.</strong> Bitrix24 lists task time tracking and employee hours tracking on Professional: $199 instead of $99 for Standard, $100 more a month or $1,200 a year. Asana has time tracking on Advanced: $249.90 instead of $109.90 for Starter.</li><li><strong>Timesheet approval as an add-on.</strong> Asana’s Timesheets &amp; Budgets add-on is licensed per user on Starter, Advanced and Enterprise, and Asana publishes no price for it (checked 24 October 2026): 10 people on Advanced pay $249.90 a month plus the add-on.</li><li><strong>AI add-ons.</strong> ClickUp’s AI add-on starts at $9 per user: Business $170 + $90 = $260 a month.</li><li><strong>Planning sold separately.</strong> Harvest’s resource planning is Forecast: Teams $90 + Forecast $50 = $140 a month. Timely’s Tasks add-on starts at $5 per person: Premium $160 + $50 = $210.</li><li><strong>Reporting on a higher plan.</strong> Bonsai’s profit reporting needs Premium: $290 instead of $90 for Basic.</li><li><strong>Fees outside the monthly price.</strong> Function Point adds an onboarding fee; Scoro charges separately for onboarding and add-ons; Harvest notes that usage fees may apply. None of these amounts were on the pages we read.</li><li><strong>Minimum seats and caps.</strong> Productive and monday.com start at 3 seats, Scoro and Everhour’s Team plan at 5, Workamajig at 10. Timely Starter stops at 5 users and Bitrix24 Basic includes 5, so a 10-person team lands on the next plan up. So does PLYNTUM: Launch holds 5 members, so 10 people need Core.</li></ul><h3>Per seat or flat: where the lines cross</h3><p>A per-seat price grows with every hire. A flat price stays still inside its band, then jumps. The crossover points, using prices from the table:</p><ul><li>PLYNTUM Core costs $120 a month for up to 10 members. A per-seat tool at $24.99 (Teamwork.com Accelerate, Asana Advanced) passes that at 5 people: 5 × $24.99 = $124.95. At 10 people it is $249.90.</li><li>ClickUp Business at $17 per user comes to $170 at 10 people, $50 more than PLYNTUM Core. ClickUp costs less at 6 and 7 people ($102 and $119) and PLYNTUM Core from 8 to 10 people; from 3 to 5 people, PLYNTUM Launch ($44 billed annually) costs less than ClickUp Business ($51 to $85).</li><li>Flat bands have steps. The 11th member moves a PLYNTUM workspace to Scale, $360 a month billed annually. Productive Professional at $25 per user costs $275 for 11 people and $350 for 14, both less than $360. It passes PLYNTUM Scale at 15 people ($375).</li><li>Bitrix24 Standard covers up to 50 users for $99. At 50 people a $24.99 per-seat tool costs $1,249.50 and PLYNTUM Intelligence $840, both billed annually. On price alone, Bitrix24’s flat model wins for larger teams.</li></ul><h3>Stacking a work tool and a time tracker</h3><p>Many teams pair a task tool with a separate time tracker. The stack is what you pay, so add the two:</p><ul><li>ClickUp Business ($170) + Harvest Teams ($90) = $260 a month, $3,120 a year. Add Forecast and it is $310.</li><li>monday.com Pro ($190) + Toggl Track Starter ($90) = $280 a month, $3,360 a year.</li><li>ClickUp Core ($90) + Clockify Standard ($54.90, with invoicing and timesheet approval) = $144.90 a month, $1,738.80 a year. That is $298.80 a year more than PLYNTUM Core at $1,440. If ClickUp’s free plan is enough for your team, the same stack costs $54.90 a month.</li></ul><p>The money is only part of a stack’s cost: someone moves hours from one tool to the next and checks that they match. The <a href=\"{{route:compare/stack-calculator}}\">stack calculator</a> adds up your own combination. To see what the software adds to each billable hour, run the figure through the <a href=\"{{route:tools/hourly-rate-calculator}}\">hourly rate calculator</a>: say your 10 people bill 1,000 hours a month in total, then a $250 bill adds $0.25 to each hour.</p><p>For a shortlist of PSA tools with prices for a 10-person team, see <a href=\"{{route:guide/best-psa-software}}\">the best PSA software guide</a>.</p>"},{"heading":"Scope and limits","html":"<p>PLYNTUM is not the cheapest option in this study. For 10 people it costs $120 a month billed annually ($1,440 a year) or $150 billed monthly. That is more than the median entry price of $99, more than Bitrix24 Standard ($99) and more than the entry plan of every time tracker here except Timely ($160). It is less than per-seat PSA plans such as Productive Professional ($250) or Teamwork.com Accelerate ($249.90).</p><p>The price is flat per workspace, with members included: Launch $55 a month for 5 members, Core $150 for 10, Scale $450 for 25, Intelligence $1,050 for 50, 20% less on annual billing.
