Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Integrator

Weighted verdict

Lives in the API docs before the product tour. Optimizes for webhooks, import/export and a tool that plays well in a stack. Rejects closed ecosystems and CSV-only exits.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Integrator

Collaboration depth

How this is scored

How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.

0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.

3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.

5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.

8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.

10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.

Report an error

The Integrator

Task assignment with due dates, comments and @mentions that reach clients, a drag-and-drop Gantt whose updates cascade across dependencies, and role-based permissions in every plan make shared planning genuinely first-class. Workload surfaces as an Academy course and forecasting copy rather than an evidenced capacity view, and we found no public information on cross-project or portfolio views, which is what separates this from the top band. 4 5 2 13 6

Reporting

How this is scored

Whether the tool can answer questions about the work: progress, time, budgets, utilization — and export the answer.

0 — No reporting beyond looking at the board.

3 — Fixed per-project status views only; nothing aggregates across projects and nothing exports cleanly.

5 — Useful standard reports (progress, tracked time) with basic filters and CSV export, but limited customization and no budget/utilization depth.

8 — Configurable cross-project reporting incl. time, budgets and utilization, with dashboards and reliable exports.

10 — Reporting is a product in itself: custom report builder, scheduled delivery, API access to every metric the UI shows.

Report an error

The Integrator

Reporting looks like a product in itself: dozens of shareable reports spanning budget burn versus plan, estimated versus actual hours, utilization, and revenue, cost and margin by project, plus automated client-ready reports. Direct SQL access to raw project data and live feeds into Looker, Tableau and Power BI answer questions the standard reports cannot touch; we found no public information on a custom report builder or scheduled delivery beyond the automation language. 6 7

Integrations

How this is scored

How well the tool connects to the rest of the stack: native integrations, calendar/comms hooks, API and webhooks, import/export paths.

0 — A closed box — no API, no integrations, CSV out if anything.

3 — A handful of marquee integrations, no public API or an API that covers a fraction of the product.

5 — The common set (calendar, Slack/Teams, file storage) plus a documented public API; automation platforms partially covered.

8 — Broad native catalogue, well-documented API and webhooks, first-class automation-platform support and real import paths from competitors.

10 — Ecosystem-grade: everything in 8 plus the tool is itself extensible (apps/plugins, AI/MCP surfaces) and exit via API export is complete.

Report an error

The Integrator

A 150-plus integration directory spanning importers, connectors and developer tools, first-party Zapier and Make support reaching 2,000-plus apps, Unito and Jira sync paths for real migration, an MCP server for Claude and a ChatGPT connector — this is ecosystem-grade breadth. What holds it back from the top: we found no public information on webhooks or on the API's scope and documentation depth, and marquee integrations sit behind plan tiers, with Salesforce and NetSuite gated to Optimize. 8 9 2

Onboarding effort

How this is scored

Time and friction from signup to first real value for a small team, without paid services.

0 — No self-serve path — onboarding starts with a sales call and an implementation project.

3 — Self-serve exists but the first project requires configuration a newcomer cannot judge yet (workflows, custom fields, permissions) before anything works.

5 — A team gets a first project running within a day; trial requires payment details or key steps live behind docs.

8 — Signup to working project inside an hour: guided setup, sensible defaults, templates, trial without payment details.

10 — Minutes to value even for non-tool-people, importers pull existing work in, and the tool teaches its own advanced features as the team grows into them.

Report an error

The Integrator

Signup lands on a template chooser with a free account and an EU-hosting choice at creation, the 14-day trial needs no credit card, and guided in-app site setup walks admins through site name, URL and branding. A free tier capped at five users, five projects and 100 automations plus a Get Started learning path means a small team reaches a working project fast; we found no public information on importer-driven migration being part of that first session. 10 2 11 13 5

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the company and the data actually sit: legal entity, ownership control, data residency, and subprocessor exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

0 — Non-European vendor, data on US infrastructure under US law, no DPA worth the name.

3 — DPA and GDPR language present, but hosting defaults to the US or ownership sits outside Europe — compliance paperwork over substance.

5 — EU data residency is available and contractually fixed, but the vendor or its controlling owner is non-European, or core subprocessors put data within CLOUD Act reach.

8 — European company under European control with EU-resident data and a public DPA; remaining exposure is limited to identifiable subprocessors (e.g. a US hyperscaler's EU region) and is documented.

10 — European company, European control, EU-only data residency on European infrastructure, subprocessor list free of extraterritorial reach — verifiable, not asserted.

Report an error

The Integrator

An Irish vendor with EU hosting selectable at signup and even on the free tier is substance, but the residency promise sits in pricing copy rather than the data processing agreement, and the pricing page never states which region is the default for new accounts. We found no public information on ownership control after the 2024 investment or on subprocessors, and the reporting connector offers endpoints in both the EU and US alongside US and UK data transfer addenda in the legal hub. 2 10 3 7

Support & documentation

How this is scored

Whether a stuck user gets unstuck: docs quality, support channels and their availability per plan, and the health of the learning surface.

0 — No docs beyond marketing pages; support is a contact form that may answer.

3 — Docs exist but are thin or stale; support on entry plans is effectively email-only with slow turnaround.

5 — Searchable help center covering the core product; chat or email support on all plans with reasonable response times.

8 — Deep, current docs incl. onboarding guides and templates; fast chat support not gated to top tiers; visible changelog.

10 — Docs, academy, community and support so good they are a reason to buy; SLAs published, support quality independent of plan.

Report an error

The Integrator

Help docs cover the core product plus the Chat, Desk and Spaces families, support runs email and live chat Monday to Friday 7.00am - 12.00am IST with limited weekend cover, and an Academy with learning paths and budget and workload training links straight into the docs. Free expert training ships in every plan and a status page and roadmap sit in the footer; we found no public information on response-time commitments or a changelog. 12 13 2

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Can a buyer determine the real, payable cost of the tool for their team before talking to anyone?

0 — No public pricing at all — every number sits behind "contact sales".

3 — Some tiers are public, but a deciding factor (seat minimums, mandatory add-ons, billing-period surcharge, tax treatment) only surfaces at checkout or in fine print.

5 — Self-serve tiers are publicly priced and the billing-period difference is stated, but the headline number still needs qualifying — e.g. annual-only headline, taxes excluded without saying so, or an opaque enterprise tier doing real work.

8 — Every self-serve tier is fully priced with billing periods and tax treatment plain on the page; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Every tier including enterprise has a public price or published price formula, and the headline number is the number on the invoice.

Report an error

The Integrator

The free tier is fully specified — five users, five projects, 100 automations — the trial is 14 days with no credit card, and the billing-period difference appears as "Save 29%" on yearly billing. But we found no public information on per-user figures for the paid self-serve tiers, both Optimize and Enterprise sit behind "Let's talk" contact prompts, and we found no public information on tax treatment, so the real payable cost cannot be determined without talking to someone. 2 1
