When to replace Avoma
Conversation Intelligence and Revenue Intelligence - the two capabilities most likely to justify choosing Avoma over a plain meeting recorder - are separately priced add-ons ($29-35/seat/month each) on top of the base Startup/Organization/Enterprise plan, so the advertised "all-in-one" positioning understates true cost for a team that wants both. Enterprise requires a minimum of 10 paid seats and annual-only billing, pricing out very small teams from HIPAA compliance, SSO, and DPAs.
