The short version

  • Only Skedda has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Default pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.; Skedda pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • They diverge on capability: Default covers Inbound routing, Skedda covers Space scheduling.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Default

  • Pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
  • Seats are split into user seats and routing seats at different prices, which makes headcount planning awkward and means an organisation can be surprised by which roles turn out to need the expensive kind.
  • Enrichment is credit metered, so cost rises with inbound volume exactly when the business is doing well, and a spike in form fills is also a spike in the bill.
  • Consolidating routing, enrichment, scoring and scheduling into one vendor puts a single point of failure between a demo request and a sales representative, which is the highest value path in the business.
  • The vendor offers budget to buy out incumbent contracts, which is effective marketing but tells you switching costs in this category are high in both directions, including out of Default later.

Skedda

  • Pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • All published plans are quoted billed annually, with no monthly rate shown
  • The rules and roles engine is basic on Starter and limited on Plus; the full engine requires Premier
  • The insights dashboard is limited on the Starter plan
  • Assigned spaces and unlimited custom fields require the Premier plan
  • A dedicated account manager, legal agreement flexibility and white glove implementation are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price
  • Every plan, including the cheapest, routes through Talk to Sales rather than self-serve checkout
