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

Zapier
- The free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action
- Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths, webhooks and the formatter all require a paid plan
- Premium app connectors are withheld from the free plan
- Free Zaps poll for new data every 15 minutes against 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team
- Paying monthly rather than annually costs 50 percent more, so the 2,000-task Professional plan is $73.50 a month instead of $49
