  • They diverge on capability: Scratchpad covers Spreadsheet pipeline views, Seamless.AI covers Contact search.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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.

Seamless.AI

  • Pro and Enterprise pricing is not published and requires contacting sales.
  • Free plan is limited to just 50 credits and a single user.
  • Data accuracy for contact details can vary and requires verification before outreach.
  • Credit-based usage model means heavy prospecting can exhaust allotments quickly.
