| Pricing model | Custom (outcome-based, per resolved outcome) | Subscription |
| Best for | Large consumer-facing enterprises with very high ticket volume, an existing helpdesk they intend to keep, six-figure custom-contract budget and internal engineering capacity for integrations. | Organisations already running Salesforce CRM, with a marketing ops team or implementation partner and budget from roughly $18,000/year upward, that need cross-channel orchestration on data shared with sales and service — and especially existing Pardot or ExactTarget customers taking the Account Engagement+ or Engagement+ route. |
| Avoid if | You are SMB or mid-market, need a fixed forecastable multi-year budget, want to self-manage and iterate on your agents without vendor involvement, or require on-premise deployment. | You are a small business or solo marketer needing email plus basic automation, you have no Salesforce footprint or admin resource, or you require published, predictable all-in pricing — since support tiers, transaction fees and volume limits are not fully quantified. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
