Methodology and limitations
- Workspace369 selected four transparent planning bundles spanning CRM, project management, time tracking/invoicing and email/collaboration. Selection is editorial, not a survey of the most common stacks or a claim of feature equivalence.
- We checked each vendor’s original pricing page in USD. Google prices come from its Business editions comparison. Both billing terms are recorded separately; the annual column is a monthly equivalent, not necessarily the payment schedule.
- The calculation is the sum of each plan price multiplied by its billable seat count. Every team member receives each tool. Asana’s two-seat minimum affects the one-person scenario; the other selected team sizes align with its published bundles.
- The index is a point-in-time basket-cost benchmark, not a time-series inflation index. All totals can be recomputed from the price inputs and formulas in the source ledger.
What these numbers cannot tell you
- No claim that these bundles are the cheapest, most popular or interchangeable. Free tiers and plans outside this fixed basket are not compared.
- Taxes, discounts, foreign exchange, training, migration, integrations, payment processing and variable usage are excluded. Harvest base prices may increase with usage.
- Price inputs are vendor-reported facts; bundle totals are Workspace369 calculations. No vendor reviewed or endorsed the model.
