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.
UserVoice
- No tier names, prices or billing cycles are published on the pricing page; every call to action reads Talk to an Expert rather than showing a figure
- Pricing is based on feedback volume and which integrations are connected rather than a flat seat price, so cost cannot be estimated without a sales conversation
