Amazon Aurora

  • Limited support for non-relational data types compared to NoSQL alternatives

Bitrix24

  • The free plan is limited to 2 users and 5 GB of storage

  • Monthly billing is roughly 40 percent dearer than annual, at $69 against $49 on Basic
  • Sales automation and invoicing need Standard at $99 a month, and workflow automation and HR need Professional at $199
  • SOC compliance and the 99.95 percent SLA are Enterprise only, from $399 a month
