Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
EnergyCAP
- Priced per meter per year, so cost scales with how many utility connection points exist rather than with users or sites
- No figure is published at any level, and every package is quoted by sales
- Emissions, interval data, bill capture and bill pay are separately priced add ons rather than part of the core platform
