Dixa vs Amazon Connect
The short version
- Only Amazon Connect has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Dixa entry pricing is 89 EUR per agent per month, which is high against comparable help desks; Amazon Connect telephony is charged separately from the platform, so the $0.038 per minute voice rate is not the whole cost of a call
- They diverge on capability: Dixa covers Unified inbox, Amazon Connect covers Voice.

- Quality assurance and the AI co pilot are paid add ons on every tier
Amazon Connect
- Telephony is charged separately from the platform, so the $0.038 per minute voice rate is not the whole cost of a call
- Every channel is metered individually: $0.010 per chat message, $0.080 per email and $0.014 per SMS
- Rates vary by region and by third-party provider, so a published figure is indicative rather than final
- Cost tracks contact volume, which makes forecasting hard for a queue with seasonal peaks
