Cleanfeed

  • The free Lite plan is limited to 2 guests and 1 local audio source
  • Remote audio on the free Lite plan is mono; stereo requires Pro
  • Multitrack recording with an isolated track per guest is a Pro only feature
  • Audio repair modes, markers, clip playback and privacy controls are Pro only
  • Business Pro seats are priced higher than individual seats for identical features
  • The Cinema tier for video is $2,500 per year for the first seat, with extra seats charged separately

Customer.io

  • Essentials plan caps at 5,000 profiles (people and objects) and 1,000,000 monthly emails, with overages billed at $0.12 per 1,000 emails beyond that
  • Standard and Premium tiers show custom pricing only, and Enterprise is negotiated rate, so three of the four published tiers require a sales conversation
  • Monthly plans accept credit card only; annual billing via invoice (ACH/wire) requires the annual commitment
