Pricing entry tiers: Package Tracker at Free and paid plans available, Billy (The birthday bot) at Free and paid plans available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort for 7-14 days before committing.
