Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Deepgram
- Pricing is entirely usage-based, so total cost can be harder to predict than flat subscription tools.
- The Growth plan requires a minimum $4K/year commitment to unlock discounted rates.
- Enterprise features and custom SLAs require a direct sales conversation rather than self-serve signup.
- Some promotional per-minute rates are time-limited, meaning long-term pricing may differ from current promotional rates.
ESLint
- Slow performance on large codebases compared to newer tools like Oxlint and Biome
- Complexity in configuration from scratch, particularly for TypeScript support
- Limited built-in TypeScript support, requiring separate parsers and coordination with new TypeScript features
