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; Pipefy free Starter tier caps at 5 processes even with up to 10 users

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

Pipefy

  • Free Starter tier caps at 5 processes even with up to 10 users
  • Business and Enterprise tiers publish no per-user price on the pricing page; both require contacting sales for a custom quote
  • Cancellations do not receive refunds even though the plan can be changed or stopped at any time
