The short version
- Each has a real cost: Appointy free tier caps at 1 staff, 5 services and 100 appointments per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024); RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
- They diverge on capability: Appointy covers Online booking, RudderStack covers Data collection.
