The short version

  • Only Amazon Connect has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Mattermost no prices are published for any of the three paid tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Advanced); all require contacting sales

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

Mattermost

  • No prices are published for any of the three paid tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Advanced); all require contacting sales
  • Professional is capped at a maximum of 250 users, forcing a move to Enterprise for larger teams
  • Licenses are sold only as prepaid annual subscriptions, and organizations that exceed their licensed seat count must purchase additional seats on a prorated quarterly basis
