Where each one falls short

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

Dialpad Contact Center

  • The AI agent is sold as a pool of prepaid credits rather than a seat price, so cost depends on conversation volume
  • No per user price, seat minimum or feature comparison is published for any plan
  • The pricing page directs every enquiry to sales or an ROI calculator instead of stating a rate

KeystoneJS

  • Database support is limited to PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite
  • Keystone 5 is a separate legacy product documented on a different site and is not covered by the Keystone 6 docs
  • Upgrading requires following a dedicated Migrate to 8.0.0 guide, so major versions are not drop-in
  • Free support is a community Slack; enterprise-grade consulting and support is a separate paid engagement with Thinkmill and no published price
