Astro

  • Build time increases with large content volumes (1,000+ pages); incremental builds not yet as optimised as Gatsby or Next.js
  • API routes and serverless functions are less mature than Next.js; complex backend integrations require additional tooling

Krisp

  • There is no free tier, only a 7 day trial
  • Manager view, Salesforce integration and advanced admin controls require the Advanced plan at $30 per user per month
  • SSO, SCIM, HIPAA compliance and on device transcription are Enterprise only
  • The advertised $8 and $15 rates require annual billing, doubling to $16 and $30 monthly
