Cons	No video recording or shareable clips The free plan locks notes older than 30 days No annual discount shown, so $14 a user adds up for a team Needs the desktop app running; it won't record from a phone call on your laptop if the app is closed	Answers can be thin or wrong on complex questions Limits are shared with forms and jump in big steps between plans Support can be slow at busy times Less depth than dedicated support platforms like Intercom
