Where each one falls short

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

CloudAMQP

  • Free shared RabbitMQ plan caps at 1 million messages per month and 20 connections, per cloudamqp.com/plans.html (Aug 2026); the next tier at $19/month raises the cap to only 10 million messages
  • Dedicated plans span $50 to $17,495 per month depending on throughput tier, per cloudamqp.com, so production-grade throughput above 500 msg/s requires the paid dedicated tiers rather than the shared plan

Sketch

  • macOS-only for editing, blocking Windows and Linux users from accessing design features
  • Real-time collaboration feels less seamless than Figma with occasional sync delays
  • Limited built-in image editing capabilities, requiring external software for bitmap work
  • Subscription required for cloud features and collaboration, losing access if subscription lapses
