For a first team getting the shared record straight before anything else is switched on.
The plan most companies stay on. Automations across products, the API, and field-level permissions.
For multiple entities, a compliance requirement, or companies running most of the platform.
Only people who need to open Loop count. Read-only viewers are free, which is usually most of the people who end up looking at it.
Comparison uses published list prices for the point tools each product replaces, at the same seat count.
Project tools tend to charge for the client, the contractor and the person who only wants to see a Gantt chart. Here they read for free, and you are charged for the people doing the work.
Cost rates and live margin are the features most often held back for an upper tier, on the grounds that finance will pay for them. They are in Standard, because a project plan without a cost is a wish list.
Most of the cost of business software is not the licence. It is the implementation fee, the integration project, the premium support tier and the API access that turns out to be an enterprise feature. None of those exist here.
The full Loop feature list →A contractor needs a seat for the months they are on the project and can be removed the day they finish, credited pro rata. Seasonal teams should cost a seasonal amount.
The Loop setup guides →Published list prices for the point tools Loop replaces, at the same seat count. The spreadsheet has no licence fee; its cost is the person who maintains it, which is why it is listed without one.
No. Client visibility is a permission on the same records, so the people you report to are free.
No. Projects, phases and tasks are unlimited on every plan; you are charged for the people doing the work.
No. Cost rates, live margin and utilisation are in Standard and above, and none of it is a reporting add-on.
A contractor who logs time needs a seat while they are on the project, and it can be removed the day they finish.
The trial is the complete plan rather than a limited one, because a trial that hides the useful features tells you nothing. Nothing switches off at the end without you choosing it.
