Where each one falls short

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

Chili Piper

  • Entry Routing & Scheduling tier costs $1,250/month ($15,000/year) for 15 seats; additional seats cost $45/seat/month on top
  • Only annual billing is offered; there is no monthly billing option
  • ChiliCal Standalone, the cheapest per-seat option at $12/user/month, requires a minimum of 200 seats

Zenoti

  • Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
  • Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
  • Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
  • Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
