  • Only Signal 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; Signal signal must be installed on a phone before the desktop app can be used, so there is no phone-free desktop-only account
  • They diverge on capability: Funnel.io covers Multi-channel data aggregation, Signal covers End-to-end encryption.
