Where each one falls short

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

Avoma

  • Conversation Intelligence, the capability most buyers actually want, is a 29 US dollar per seat add-on rather than part of the plan, so the real cost of a working sales configuration is at least 53 per user per month against a 19 headline.
  • Seat ceilings are baked into tiers, with Startup capped at 25 seats and Organization at 100, so growth forces a plan change for headcount reasons alone rather than feature reasons.
  • Conversation intelligence on the Organization tier is explicitly limited, meaning teams discover which parts are missing after they have committed to an annual contract.
  • Deal and forecast analytics are considerably shallower than dedicated revenue intelligence platforms, so an organisation that grows into serious pipeline inspection will replace the add-on rather than expand it.
  • Summary quality depends on the note template being maintained, and teams that never configure templates get generic recaps that nobody reads, which quietly turns the subscription into an expensive transcript archive.

Fireflies.ai

  • Video recording limits by tier: Free tier has 2 hours, Pro tier 2 hours, Business tier 3 hours, Enterprise tier 4 hours
  • Storage quotas on Free and Pro tiers: Free tier limited to 400 minutes per team, Pro tier limited to 8,000 minutes per seat
  • AI credits allocation varies by tier, with lower tiers receiving limited credits for advanced AI features
