TrueToolKickserv alternatives, by real price
Kickserv is one of the cheapest tools we track for small teams. Start is $60/mo with 5 users included, and paying annually takes 20% off. Switching usually costs more, so the reason to move is features, not price.

Methodology and sources
Every price is copied from the vendor's own pricing page and stored with its source and check date; nothing is estimated from sales quotes, and quote-only tools show no dollar figure. Starting price is the lowest paid monthly list price published. We don't rank by features or reviews. Full methodology.
