The short version

  • Only Totango has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Natero acquired by Freshworks in May 2019 and folded into the Freshsuccess product line, so it is no longer sold as Natero; Totango user interface is unintuitive and outdated, making workflows more time-consuming than necessary
  • They diverge on capability: Natero covers Predictive health scores, Totango covers SuccessBLOCs.
