Where each one falls short

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

Dixa

  • Entry pricing is 89 EUR per agent per month, which is high against comparable help desks
  • The AI agent is billed separately at 0.35 EUR per conversation on top of the seat price
  • Skills based routing and advanced automations require the Ultimate plan at 139 EUR per agent
  • SSO, custom user roles and auto redaction are Prime only at 179 EUR per agent
  • There is no self serve trial, and the vendor states every rollout is guided
  • Quality assurance and the AI co pilot are paid add ons on every tier

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
