Where each one falls short

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

Chanty

  • Free plan caps at 5 team members
  • Enterprise tier publishes no price and requires contacting sales
  • Monthly billing costs roughly 33% more per seat than annual billing on the Business plan, based on the vendor's own comparison of monthly versus annual per-user rates

CouchDB

  • Append-only storage model may have performance implications for certain workloads with high update rates
  • Requires network synchronisation for cluster data consistency; can introduce latency in multi-master scenarios
  • No explicit support for complex joins; MapReduce queries may be inefficient compared to relational databases
