Nifty vs Quire

Nifty

• Agencies and client-facing teams that want chat, docs and tasks in one tool
• Teams of 7 or more, where one flat price covers every member
• Small projects that fit the Free plan's 2 active projects

Quire

• Teams that break work into deeply nested subtasks
• Small teams starting on a free plan with up to 10 members
• Teams that hand selected tasks to outside contractors
• People who track time or use Pomodoro alongside their task list

Nifty

• The Free plan is limited to 2 active projects and 100 MB of storage, and has no time tracking, custom fields or automations.
• Flat plans cap team size: 10 members on Pro and 30 on Business; beyond that the Unlimited plan is $399 a month billed annually.
• Per-member pricing is pitched at teams of fewer than 7; for 7 or more people the pricing page steers buyers to the flat plans.
• The open API, Microsoft SSO and custom domains need Business; custom SAML, white labeling and native forms need Unlimited.

Quire

• The Free plan stops at 10 members, 4 projects and 1,000 tasks per project, and keeps the activity log for 5 days.
• Timeline, table and calendar views, time tracking and task dependencies need Professional or higher; SSO/SAML is Enterprise only.
• External team members count toward the paid member total, and Quire does not offer refunds after cancellation.
• Quire lists a web app and iOS and Android apps; the only desktop app in its app directory is marked non-official.

Nifty

Roadmaps and milestones

Goals and milestones are mapped on a timeline, and progress rolls up automatically as the tasks behind each milestone are completed.

Task views

Tasks switch between Kanban, list, timeline, calendar and swimlane views. Recurring tasks and task dependencies are included on the Free plan.

Discussions and team chat

Each project has its own discussions, alongside team chat and one-click video calls, so conversations stay attached to the work.

Docs and files

Specs, wikis and notes are written in Nifty Docs and linked to tasks, with native Google Docs sync. File proofing for approvals starts on Pro.

Time tracking, budgets and reporting

Pro adds time tracking and reporting, budget tracking, custom fields, workflow automations and cross-project overviews. Business adds goals and team workloads.

Orbit AI and MCP

Orbit plans projects, prioritizes tasks, drafts updates and writes docs. An MCP connection lets assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT build and update work in Nifty.

Quire

Nested task list

Tasks break down into subtasks with no limit on depth on every plan, and sublists give each person a focused slice of the main list.

Kanban board

The same tasks can be arranged on a board and moved through statuses. The free plan allows 5 task statuses per project and Professional 25.

Timeline and other views

Professional adds a Gantt-style timeline with task dependencies, plus table, calendar, dashboard and insight views. Premium adds a schedule view grouped by day.

Time tracking and Pomodoro

From Professional, time can be logged against tasks and summarized in time reports, with a built-in Pomodoro timer. Timesheets need Premium.

External teams and shared links

On paid plans, outside collaborators can be limited to the tasks assigned to them, and a project can be shared with clients through a public link that needs no signup.

Documents, chat and integrations

Projects hold documents and chat channels, and every plan lists Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, Zapier, n8n and Google Drive integrations plus the Quire MCP and CLI.
