Salesforce Service Cloud

  • The vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021 listed four Service Cloud tiers billed annually per user per month in USD: $25, $75, $150 (Enterprise, marked most popular), and $300; add-ons such as Omni-Channel Supervisor cost an additional $75 per user per month and Google Apps/Outlook integration an additional $25 per user per month on lower tiers

Sinch

  • Much of the portfolio arrived through acquisition, so a customer buying messaging and email should check how consistent the consoles, APIs and support processes actually are across those specific products.
  • Product overlap from acquisitions means the right Sinch product for a use case is not always obvious and sales guidance varies.
  • Integrating acquired businesses is a continuing programme, so account handling and support contacts can change under a customer mid-contract.
  • The published rate card is a list price, so organisations at volume still negotiate and small senders pay the advertised rate without leverage.
  • US A2P messaging carries 10DLC registration fees and per-segment carrier surcharges on top of the published rates, as it does with every provider.
