Where each one falls short

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

Re:amaze

  • AI resolutions are metered per plan at 5, 10 and 20 a month, with each additional resolution at $0.85
  • The flat rate Starter plan at $59 a month caps responded conversations at 500
  • SMS, voice, multiple brands and a custom domain all require the Pro plan at $49 per team member
  • Departments, custom roles, shift management and satisfaction ratings are Plus only at $69 per team member
  • The 10% saving requires annual billing

Scratchpad

  • Scratchpad works with Salesforce and nothing else, with no HubSpot support, so it is off the shortlist entirely for any company on a different CRM regardless of how good the interface is.
  • AI credits are metered per user per month at 400 on Solo and 800 on Team, which means heavy notetaking use pushes teams towards Enterprise for capacity rather than for features.
  • There is no proper native mobile application, so representatives who wanted to update records from a car park between meetings are back in a mobile browser.
  • Sync with Salesforce and call processing can lag, and a pipeline view showing yesterday state during a forecast call undermines the exact meeting the tool was bought to improve.
  • It creates a second notes surface alongside native Salesforce notes, so organisations end up with deal history split across two places unless they explicitly ban one of them.
