Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Alchemy

  • The free tier is capped at 30M compute units a month and 25 requests per second
  • Free accounts are limited to 5 apps and 5 webhooks
  • Beyond the free allowance it is $0.45 per 1M compute units for the first 300M a month
  • Request cost varies by call complexity, from around 10 compute units to over 100, so spend is hard to predict from request counts alone
  • Signed SLAs and priority support require an Enterprise contract

Copy.ai

  • Chat plan limited to 5 seats; must upgrade to Growth plan ($1,000/month) for teams of 10+
  • Workflow credits limited to 20K per month on Growth plan; higher usage requires upgrading to Expansion ($2,000/month) or above
