Where each one falls short

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

Krisp

  • Accent conversion is metered daily rather than monthly, at 1 hour a day on Core and 4 on Advanced
  • There is no free tier, only a 7 day trial
  • Manager view, Salesforce integration and advanced admin controls require the Advanced plan at $30 per user per month
  • SSO, SCIM, HIPAA compliance and on device transcription are Enterprise only
  • The advertised $8 and $15 rates require annual billing, doubling to $16 and $30 monthly

Paragon

  • No price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
  • Cost scales with the number of customer tenants using the integrations, so the bill follows an end customer count rather than the vendor's own usage
  • SAML SSO, self hosting, dynamic field mapping and SLAs are all Enterprise only
