Bitrix24 alternatives: who should switch and who should stay

Bitrix24 presents itself as one platform for sales, tasks and teams: a CRM, tasks and projects, chat and video calls, documents and file storage, a website builder, an online store, telephony and marketing tools. For many companies it is a strong, cheap choice. A service company tends to look elsewhere for three reasons.

• Language. We could not find a Georgian interface in the information we read. Bitrix24 has a Georgian-language website (bitrix24.ge, checked 23 October 2026), but its help centre does not list the interface languages. If your team works in Georgian, you feel that every day.
• Modules you never open. A website builder, a store, telephony and marketing automation serve a sales-led business. A design studio may use only tasks and chat, yet still has to set up and work around the rest.
• Time and project cost. A service company sells hours. Bitrix24 lists task time tracking and employee hours tracking on Professional ($199 a month billed annually), not on Standard (checked 25 September 2026). Manager approval of timesheets, project profitability from logged hours, expenses per project and a client portal are not stated on the pages we read.

That is not a flaw: Bitrix24’s own description starts with sales. But if your main questions are where the hours went and what each client cost, look at the alternatives. For the wider picture, read the guide to business management software in Georgia.

1. What do you sell? If revenue comes from deals, calls and online orders, Bitrix24’s sales side is your core. If you sell specialists’ time, hours and project cost matter most.
2. Which modules does the team open every week? If telephony, the website or the online store is on that list, PLYNTUM cannot replace them.
3. Do you need to know what each project cost? That takes logged hours, a cost for each person’s hour and expenses attached to the project.
4. What language does the team work in? On this list, PLYNTUM has a Georgian interface; the table’s last column shows what we found for the others.
5. How many of you are there? Bitrix24 charges per organisation (Standard up to 50 users, Professional up to 100), the other seven per user or seat, and PLYNTUM per workspace with members included.

What the numbers in the table above mean

The table prices a team of 10. Set PLYNTUM Core against two Bitrix24 plans (checked 25 September 2026):

• Standard: $99 a month billed annually ($144 monthly), up to 50 users. PLYNTUM Core is $120 a month billed annually: $21 a month, or $252 a year, more. Here Bitrix24 is cheaper.
• Professional: $199 a month billed annually ($289 monthly), up to 100 users, the plan that lists task time tracking. Core costs $79 a month less, or $948 a year.

If you do not need time tracking, Bitrix24 Standard costs less, and its free plan costs nothing. If you would move to Professional for time tracking, the comparison swings towards PLYNTUM. Past 10 people it swings back: 11 to 25 members need PLYNTUM Scale at $360 a month billed annually, more than Bitrix24 Professional. Every plan is on the pricing page.

monday.com

monday.com calls itself an AI work platform; its Work Management product covers projects and tasks. There is a free plan for up to 2 seats; paid plans are per seat, minimum 3 (checked 25 September 2026). From Bitrix24 it mainly replaces the tasks-and-projects part: its Work Management plans do not list invoices, expenses or receivables. Georgian is not among its interface languages. PLYNTUM vs monday.com

ClickUp

ClickUp is one app for tasks, docs, goals and chat, for any team, with a Free Forever plan and an AI add-on from $9 per user (checked 25 September 2026). If you mostly use Bitrix24 for tasks and chat, ClickUp covers that. Invoices stay in another system, so someone matches amounts to hours by hand. We could not find a Georgian interface for ClickUp in the information we read. PLYNTUM vs ClickUp

Asana

Asana organises a team’s work into projects and tasks. Time tracking comes with Advanced and Enterprise; timesheet approval needs the Timesheets & Budgets add-on, sold per user with no published price. For 10 users it comes on top of Advanced’s $249.90 a month (checked 24 October 2026). Its pricing page does not list invoicing, expenses or leave, and there is no client portal. Georgian is not among its 14 display languages. PLYNTUM vs Asana

Scoro

Scoro is one platform for projects, resourcing and finances, aimed at consultancies, agencies and engineering firms. Its price depends on the apps you choose, minimum 5 users, with onboarding and add-ons extra (checked 25 September 2026), so its figure in the table is an estimate, not a quote. Coming from Bitrix24, you keep a sales CRM and quoting, and gain resource planning, quoted-against-actual reports and a view of work not yet invoiced (WIP). If you need sales and project finances together, start here. CRM core is released, subject to plan, role and permissions. Proposal drafts, won-deal handoff and manual forecasts have plan limits; inbox and integrations require separate setup. AI and private capture remain in development. Review CRM access and limits.

Productive

Productive helps agencies and consultancies run resources, projects and finances, priced per user with a minimum of 3 seats (checked 24 October 2026). Unlike Bitrix24, it is built around a service company’s numbers, and it has a sales pipeline today. We compare Productive’s own alternatives on a separate page.

Teamwork.com

Teamwork.com is built for professional services firms: projects, resources and financials together, with a free plan for up to 5 users and per-user paid plans (checked 24 October 2026). It focuses on delivering client work rather than selling. The information we read says nothing about a sales pipeline.

Paymo

Paymo is work management with time tracking and invoicing for small teams and freelancers, free for one user. The table shows its Plus plan at the monthly price (checked 24 October 2026). If you used Bitrix24 only for tasks and now want hours and invoices linked, Paymo does that at low cost.

PLYNTUM

Where it fits

• From hour to client. In time tracking, an hour belongs to a task, the task to a project and the project to a client. Manual time tracking is on every plan; managers approve timesheets from Core.
• From hour to profit. A logged hour becomes cost at that person’s loaded hourly cost; salaries are visible to leadership only. Logged hours plus direct expenses are set against the project’s value, so you see which clients make you money. Invoices and receivables are on every plan, recurring invoices from Core; see the finance page.
• Several companies. Each company you run gets its own workspace with its own plan, all under one login.
• Also: attendance and leave, and a client portal from Core.

Where it does not

• Inbox channels and emailing proposals to clients are not part of CRM core. CRM core covers contacts, organizations, opportunities and a pipeline for eligible users.
• No telephony, website builder, online store or marketing automation, and no e-signature, which Bitrix24 lists on Standard.
• Not accounting software: no ledger, bank feeds, tax filing or payroll.
• No automatic time capture or AI yet. Hours are logged by hand; AI analyses are planned.

If one of these describes you, Bitrix24 is probably the better choice, or at least the part you should keep.

• You sell through a pipeline. Even Bitrix24 Basic ($49 a month billed annually, 5 users) has sales pipelines, recurring deals, online payments and email, WhatsApp and telephony integration (checked 25 September 2026). PLYNTUM’s CRM core covers contacts, organizations, opportunities and a pipeline for eligible users.
• Calls, a website, a shop, marketing. Call tracking, email marketing and ad automation (on Professional), a website builder and a store: if you use them daily, leaving means paying for several tools.
• A large team. A 40-person team pays $99 a month for Bitrix24 Standard or $199 for Professional, billed annually (checked 25 September 2026). In PLYNTUM, 40 members need Intelligence at $840 a month billed annually. On price alone, Bitrix24 wins easily.
• A zero budget. Bitrix24 has a free plan with limited tools (its pricing page says both “unlimited users” and “free for 1–2 users”); PLYNTUM has none.
• Hours are already under control. If Professional’s time tracking is enough and you already track project cost elsewhere, the move may not pay off.

There is no connection or automatic import between Bitrix24 and PLYNTUM, so do not move everything at once. Start with one client.

1. Pick one client with active projects, ideally the one whose profitability you are least sure of.
2. Set it up in PLYNTUM: open projects and tasks, project values and each person’s loaded hourly cost.
3. For two to four weeks, log that client’s hours only in PLYNTUM, with a manager approving them weekly (from Core).
4. Raise that client’s next invoice from PLYNTUM and compare logged hours and expenses with the project’s value.
5. Then move the other clients, one at a time or in small groups.

Keep sales in Bitrix24 during the move if you need to, and create the client and project in PLYNTUM when a deal is won. If five people or fewer sell, Bitrix24 Basic ($49 a month billed annually, 5 users, with pipelines) plus PLYNTUM Core ($120 billed annually) comes to $169 a month (Bitrix24 price checked 25 September 2026). Check that Basic covers what you use on Bitrix24’s pricing page. If you pay Bitrix24 annually, time the switch for your renewal date.
