Where each one falls short

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

Anthropic API

  • AWS Marketplace lists Claude Opus 4.8 (Amazon Bedrock Edition), published by seller Anthropic, at $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens for standard usage, or $2.50 and $12.50 per million tokens respectively for batch processing
  • AWS Marketplace's Anthropic listing shows cache write tokens billed separately at $6.25 per million tokens for the standard 5-minute cache, rising to $10.00 per million tokens for a 1-hour cache TTL

Zenoti

  • Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
  • Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
  • Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
  • Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
