For teams that regularly work with outside people, Paqut removes the guest-pricing friction these tools add.
AsanaCharges per seat for every external member. Clients and contractors raise your bill with each invite.
Slack (guests)Single-channel guests are limited; multi-channel guests cost extra. Not built for task tracking.
TrelloGuest access is restricted; Power-Ups and advanced features require paid seats for external members.
ClickUpGuest seats are metered. Free guests have limited interaction; meaningful collaboration costs extra.
BasecampFlat pricing is generous for internal teams, but client-facing tools and granular permissions are limited.
NotionGuest limits are tight on lower plans; full collaboration and editing rights require paid seats.
BacklogPer-user pricing means every added contractor or external collaborator increases your monthly cost.
Paqut flips the model: external guests are always free. You pay only for the internal members who run the workspace.
