Where each one falls short

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

Capacity

  • Two-part pricing, an annual platform fee plus usage, so the bill is not knowable from the tier alone
  • AI usage is metered by channel: per response on chat and email, per minute on voice and per message on SMS
  • Agent Assist and conversation intelligence are charged per hour of agent time on top
  • Live chat, agent assist and conversation intelligence require the Pro tier
  • The HIPAA package and advanced workflows are Enterprise only
  • No prices are published for any tier

Comm100

  • Screen sharing, agent shift management and custom reporting are excluded from both published plans and require the unpriced Ultra tier
  • The Startup plan at $39 per agent per month excludes chat routing and audio video chat
  • Every AI product is a separate add on quoted by sales rather than included in a plan
  • Pricing is per agent, so cost scales with headcount rather than conversation volume
