The short version

  • Only Lark has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Kustomer pricing not published; requires customised sales assessment and quote for exact costs; Lark lark's own pricing page description states it offers a free starter pack, a Pro plan, and an Enterprise plan, and directs buyers to Contact us rather than publishing Pro/Enterprise figures on the rendered page.
  • They diverge on capability: Kustomer covers Unified customer view, Lark covers Team messaging.
