The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Grasshopper available only in the USA and Canada; the site returns a not available in your region error outside those countries; Kudos kudos publishes no price for any of its three tiers (Basic, Plus, Enterprise); the entire plans page gates every tier behind "Request a Demo" or "Request a Trial" with only a discount for not-for-profit organizations over 100 employees mentioned, no figures given (archived plans page, 22 February 2021)
