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

SugarCRM

  • Every plan carries a 15 user minimum, so the entry cost is 15 seats regardless of team size
  • At $59 per user on Standard that minimum makes the real floor $885 a month
  • All three tiers are billed annually with no monthly option
  • The vendor still directs buyers to sales for a package rather than treating the published rate as final
