Pick Dovetail if research / product teams who will stay on Free at $0 / user / month (one channel, one project, Chat) while they open a first interview grid, then talk to sales for Enterprise when they need unlimited projects, channels, and dashboards. Pick Featurebase if support / product teams who will stay on Free forever (1 seat, AI not supported) while they open a first Inbox thread, then buy Growth at $29 /
