The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Potion synthetic personalisation works partly because it surprises the recipient, and that surprise decays as the technique spreads, so response rate uplift should be measured monthly as a decaying asset rather than assumed from the first quarter.; Showpad the pricing page names three tiers, Professional, Advanced and Expert, licensed per user, and publishes no figure for any of them, requiring a quote for each
  • They diverge on capability: Potion covers Dynamic AI videos, Showpad covers Content hub.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Potion

  • Synthetic personalisation works partly because it surprises the recipient, and that surprise decays as the technique spreads, so response rate uplift should be measured monthly as a decaying asset rather than assumed from the first quarter.
  • Starter caps dynamic videos at 750 a month and full AI templates at three a month, which a single active representative can exhaust, pushing small teams onto the 299 US dollar tier faster than the pricing table implies.
  • Cloned voice and lip synced video sit close to a line some prospects find deceptive, and a recipient who realises the video was generated rather than recorded may react worse than to plain text.
  • There is no free plan, only a seven day trial, which is a short window in which to prove response rate uplift on a cold outbound sequence where reply cycles alone can take longer than a week.
  • Workspace pricing is excellent for teams but poor for a single representative, who pays 99 US dollars a month for capacity sized for a team, so solo users are the worst fit for the model.

Showpad

  • The pricing page names three tiers, Professional, Advanced and Expert, licensed per user, and publishes no figure for any of them, requiring a quote for each

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Potion: Is Potion priced per seat?

No. It is priced per workspace: 99 US dollars a month for Starter and 299 for Professional, regardless of how many people use it. That is unusual in this category and decisively cheaper for larger teams.

Showpad: How does Showpad license its software, and what does per-user pricing mean?

Showpad licenses on a per-user basis. This means costs scale with the number of users on your account, though specific per-user rates are not published.
