Where each one falls short

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

Papaya Global

The AWS Marketplace listing is by the vendor but carries no published rate, offering pricing only through a Private Offer with a promotional discount off recurring fees

Zenoti

Zenoti publishes no prices: the pricing page names plans by business type but gives no rate, no per location fee and no minimum, and routes every enquiry to a quote or demo
Multi location pricing is described as customised to the customer's footprint, so two buyers of the same size are not guaranteed the same rate
Communication costs such as messaging are billed on consumption on top of the plan
Functionality is extended through paid add ons rather than being included in a single plan
