Where each one falls short

ClickMagick
- The entry Starter plan is $79 a month and tracks 10,000 visitors
- Additional sites or stores are $40 a month each and are not available on Starter at all
- Visitor allowances jump by a factor of ten between tiers, at 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000, so a site between two tiers pays for the higher one
- No overage rate is published, so exceeding an allowance has no stated cost
- The lower advertised rates require paying a year up front
Crossbeam
- The first paid plan is $4,800 a year and includes a single full access seat, with additional seats at $1,800 a year each
- The free plan caps Deal Navigator and Pipeline Generation at 10 records each and offers no record exports at all
- Record exports are the ladder, at 5,000 on Connector, 25,000 on Supernode and 100,000 on Enterprise
- Sales seats are a separate $40 per user per month on top of the plan
- SAML SSO and advanced access controls are excluded from the Connector plan
- Both upper tiers are custom priced
