Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
Mailchimp
- The free plan allows 250 contacts and 500 sends a month, with a 250 daily cap
- Price is driven by contact count, so the list growing raises the bill regardless of how much you send
- Send allowances are a multiple of contacts, 10x on Essentials and 12x on Standard, so a large list with heavy sending forces a tier change
- Essentials allows 3 seats and Standard 5; unlimited seats need Premium at $350 a month
- The headline $13 and $20 prices are for 500 contacts, not a flat rate
