Total Cost of Ownership
$150-$300/user/month
Requires dedicated Administrators and Developers ($120k+ each)
High cost of implementation partners (often 1-3x annual license cost)
Requires separate tools for data enrichment, sales engagement, and forecasting
Disruption Risk
- Seat-based pricing model conflicts with AI automation reducing headcount
- Legacy monolithic architecture makes rapid AI feature deployment difficult
- High switching costs are the main moat, but AI wrappers are eroding the interface value
