Where each one falls short

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

Genesys Cloud

  • All four published tiers are billed annually
  • The published rates are named user licences tied to a specific person, so a shift based operation cannot share a seat
  • Concurrent user licences, which is what shift work needs, are sold at a premium above these rates
  • Entry pricing is $75 per user per month, rising to $240 on the top tier

People.ai

  • Pricing per user adds up quickly for large sales teams
  • Setup requires deep CRM configuration and change management
  • Activity capture can generate noise without proper filtering and customization
  • Forecasting accuracy depends on data quality and proper configuration
