Where each one falls short

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

Bold360

  • Bold360 as a standalone product is discontinued: the vendor's own domain bold360.com now 302-redirects (captured 8 January 2024) to genesys.com/capabilities/live-chat-software, and the live domain no longer resolves at all.

HubSpot Service Hub

  • The free tier is capped at 2 users
  • Professional carries a one-off onboarding fee of $1,500, and Enterprise $3,500, on top of the seat price
  • Seats are $90 a month billed monthly against $100 billed annually on Professional, so the annual commitment is not the cheaper option per month
  • AI features run on monthly credits, 500 on Starter and 3,000 on Professional, which do not roll over
  • Extra credits cost $0.010 each once the monthly allocation is spent
