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

Textline

  • Outbound messages beyond the plan allowance are billed per message at $0.03 to $0.04 each, plus a separate campaign registration fee
