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

Less Annoying CRM

  • There is no free tier, only a single $15 per user per month price
  • File storage is capped at 25 GB per user
  • The vendor advises staying below 50,000 total contacts, so very large databases sit outside the intended use even though no hard limit is enforced
