All three can imitate each other. That does not make them equally comfortable. Pick the tool your staff can update during a busy day, not the one with the prettiest demo.

• The same fact copied into several tools.
• A setup that only one person understands.
• Guests, automations, storage, or permissions pushing the bill upward.
• A dashboard that looks busy but changes no decision.

• Write the one job the tool must own.
• Test that job with ten real records and two real users.
• Price the plan you will need after the trial, not the free-plan fantasy.
• Keep an export and name who owns the account.
