Hive pricing explained
A free plan for small groups, two priced steps per user, an enterprise quote, and a set of add ons that change the real cost.
Hive is a flexible project tool with multiple project views and built in messaging, and its pricing is a per user ladder with a twist: several capabilities are paid add ons rather than tier features. Free covers a small group with limited storage; Starter at $5 opens unlimited tasks and core views; Teams at $12 adds more advanced project management, and Enterprise is quote based. On top of the tiers, Hive sells optional add ons such as timesheets, analytics, external users and enterprise security. Below are the plans as of June 2026, then a plain look at what moves the cost.
Plans and prices
Per user / month, billed yearlyPricing as of June 2026. Starter and Teams are the annual rates; monthly billing runs higher (Starter about $7, Teams about $18). Hive also sells paid add ons, including timesheets at about $4, analytics at about $6, external users at about $4 and enterprise security at about $4 per user per month. Enterprise is quote based. Check the vendor for current pricing.
What actually moves your bill
Hive's per user rate is only part of the picture. The add ons and the gap between Starter and Teams shape the real cost as much as the headline price, so it pays to map which features you need before you choose a tier.

Is Hive free?

As of June 2026, Starter is about $5 per user per month and Teams about $12 per user per month, both billed yearly. Monthly billing is higher, at roughly $7 and $18, and Enterprise is quote based. Paid add ons are extra. Check the vendor for current pricing.
What add ons does Hive charge for?
Hive sells several capabilities as paid add ons rather than including them in the tiers. Common ones are timesheets, analytics, external users and enterprise security, each typically around $4 to $6 per user per month. Confirm the current add on list and prices with the vendor before you budget.
What is the difference between Starter and Teams?
Starter covers unlimited tasks and projects with core views and forms. Teams adds advanced project and portfolio views, custom fields, dependencies, automations, approvals, goals and proofing, and is built for growing teams that need more structure and reporting depth.
