AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that while both BigTime and Slack have high overall satisfaction ratings (4.5 stars each), BigTime is particularly favored by small businesses, with 80.9% of reviews coming from this segment, compared to Slack's 41.2%. This suggests that BigTime may be more tailored to the needs of smaller organizations.
- Reviewers mention that BigTime's entry-level price of $20.00 is a consideration for budget-conscious users, while Slack offers a free tier, making it more accessible for startups and small teams looking to minimize costs.
- Users on G2 highlight that Slack excels in ease of use (9.1) and setup (9.1), making it a go-to choice for teams that prioritize quick onboarding and user-friendly interfaces. In contrast, BigTime, while still user-friendly, scores slightly lower in these areas (8.7 for ease of use and 8.2 for setup), indicating a steeper learning curve.
- Reviewers mention that BigTime shines in quality of support, scoring 9.2, which users appreciate for its responsiveness and helpfulness. In comparison, Slack's support quality is rated at 8.8, suggesting that while it is still good, it may not match the level of personalized assistance that BigTime offers.
- Users say that when it comes to task management features, Slack outperforms BigTime in areas like task prioritization (8.6 vs. 8.0) and to-do lists (8.7 vs. 7.8), indicating that Slack may be better suited for teams focused on agile project management and daily task tracking.
- G2 users report that BigTime excels in time and expense tracking (8.9), which is crucial for project-based businesses, while Slack's score of 8.0 in this area suggests it may not be as robust for users needing detailed financial oversight within their projects.
