Where each one falls short

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

Kintone

  • Priced at $24 per user/month with a minimum of 5 users ($120/month floor), so it is not accessible below that spend even for a solo user
  • Each app is capped at 300 records and the account is capped at 50,000 API calls daily, with 5GB storage per user, which constrains larger data-heavy deployments

Parabola

  • The Basic plan allows 1 user and 1,000 credits with limited AI
  • No price is published for either the self serve or the business tier
  • Credits are consumed when agents run, and further credits are bought pay as you go
  • Role based access control, SSO, version history and SLAs all sit on the unpriced business plan
