The short version

  • Only Microsoft Teams has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Funnel.io available connectors are gated by plan, at 113 on Starter against 579 on Business, so which sources can be used depends on the tier rather than on need; Microsoft Teams resource-heavy application; slow to load and consumes significant CPU/memory compared to alternatives
  • They diverge on capability: Funnel.io covers Multi-channel data aggregation, Microsoft Teams covers Chat & channels.
