See what each plan includes

Every product compared here does one of three things: it publishes its prices in US dollars, it shows a dollar amount without saying which dollars, or it publishes no price at all. Zeus is priced in Canadian dollars. So the numbers side by side are not a straight comparison.

Does Markate have a free plan?

No free plan. Markate publishes a 14-day trial with no card required.

Who is Markate best for?

Solo operators in cleaning, maintenance and seasonal work.

✓ = yes · ✗ = no · — = only some of it · NOT STATED = the company does not say either way, and we will not mark something as missing just because they stayed quiet.

The price is on the page
