Where each one falls short

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

Clay

  • Two separate meters run at once, actions and data credits, and a plan can exhaust either independently
  • Data credit overage is sold at a 30% premium over the plan rate, so exceeding the allowance costs more per unit than planning for it
  • The free plan allows 500 actions, 100 data credits and 200 rows per table
  • The entry paid plan starts at $167 a month, and both paid prices are starting figures rather than fixed
  • The free plan cannot buy overage at all, so hitting the limit stops work rather than billing for it

Qwilr

  • Growth plan requires a minimum of 5 users at $55/user/month and Scale requires a minimum of 10 users at $75/user/month, both billed annually only
  • Document automation beyond the free monthly allotment (10, 150 or 600 documents by tier) costs $5, $2.50 or $2.50 per additional document
  • QwilrPay charges a payment processing fee on top of the subscription, ranging from 0.25% on Starter down to 0.05% on Scale
