Pros & Cons
OnePlan
Pros
- The integration catalog lists more than 40 connectors, covering Microsoft Project, Planner, Azure DevOps, Jira, Smartsheet, Workday, and SAP.
- Reviewers praise how configurable the workflows and templates are, which suits PMOs whose processes keep changing.
- Capacity and resource planning with utilization views is a widely cited strength.
- Viewing OnePlan OData in Power BI does not require a OnePlan license, which lowers the cost of sharing reports.
- The Basic entry price of 10 dollars per user per month is low for portfolio software.
Cons
- Roadmaps, resource and financial planning, scenarios, automation, and audit logs are Enterprise-only, and Enterprise has no public price.
- Reviewers report final quotes well above what they first expected.
- Setup and configuration have a learning curve, and onboarding can be slow.
- Advanced report layouts often need extra Power BI work.
- Basic is billed annually only and requires at least five users.
Zendo
Pros
- Combines storefront, intake forms, request chat, invoicing and Stripe payments, so a small studio can run orders to payment in one tool.
- The free plan has no Zendo transaction fees and supports all service types.
- Clients can reply to email notifications, which makes communication easy for less technical clients.
- White-label options include a custom domain, logo and removal of Zendo branding.
Cons
- Reviewers say it has no Gantt charts, task dependencies or time tracking.
- It has no proposals, contracts, e-signatures or sales pipeline.
- There are few native integrations beyond Stripe, Zapier and Rewardful.
- Paid plans include only one internal user, so team costs rise with extra seats.
- Pricing has changed several times, in March and August 2026, which may unsettle long-term planning.
