  • Each has a real cost: Banana banana shut down its serverless GPU infrastructure on 31 March 2024 at noon PST and told customers to migrate to another provider by that time; Voiceflow the free plan is limited to a single active workspace collaborator, so team collaboration requires upgrading to the paid Pro or Team tiers
