The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Groove billed per ticket at $1 rather than per agent, so support cost scales with how many customers get in touch; TeamViewer pricing page gates all figures behind plan selection with no listed price for its Teams and Tensor Enterprise tiers, which are described as a fully customized license requiring sales contact
