Where each one falls short

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

Amazon Connect

Telephony is charged separately from the platform, so the $0.038 per minute voice rate is not the whole cost of a call
Every channel is metered individually: $0.010 per chat message, $0.080 per email and $0.014 per SMS
Rates vary by region and by third-party provider, so a published figure is indicative rather than final
Cost tracks contact volume, which makes forecasting hard for a queue with seasonal peaks

Clockify

The free plan stops at 5 users
Free accounts are throttled to 30 API requests per hour and 3 webhooks
Reporting on the free plan only covers a 1 month range
Invoicing needs Standard at $5.49 per seat per month and GPS tracking needs Pro at $7.99
SSO, SCIM provisioning, a custom subdomain and the audit log are Enterprise only at $11.99 per seat per month
