Productive review

Real time profitability in the headline, QuickBooks and Xero named, and Professional at $25 a seat.

Verdict

Productive puts the live number in the headline. Its homepage says profitability in real time and key company metrics available in real time, and names utilization and profit tracking, revenue recognition and invoiced revenue by month. It connects by name to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Exact, Visma, Fortnox and Twinfield on the books side and HubSpot on the sales side. The rendered pricing page shows Essential at $10 a seat billed yearly and Professional at $25, with a three seat minimum and a 14 day trial with no card. By our arithmetic ten people on Professional is $3,000 a year. That is the cheapest route on this page to a live margin.

What customers praise

The low price does not cost you the books connection: QuickBooks and Xero are named on the homepage, and NetSuite invoice export on the integrations page. A 50 percent discount for nonprofits and volume pricing from 50 users are both printed. Productive claims 2,000+ companies, a vendor figure.

What customers criticise

Revenue forecasting and the Scenario Builder sit in Ultimate, which has no price, and the pricing page puts the HubSpot integration there too. The page states its own prices two ways: the rendered page shows $10 and $25, the static comparison table shows $9 and $24 billed yearly, and one tile reads $10 a seat but $90 a month for 10 users. Salesforce is not named. Work in progress and receivables are not named either.

Best for

An agency or consultancy of 5 to 50 people that wants profitability and utilization live for the lowest printed price on this page, and can live without forecasting until it upgrades.

Real time profitability wording, the integrations and the 2,000+ companies claim read on productive.io the same day. No adverse public signals found. See the full red-flag report.
