When Specialists Win
CX is primary use case, not CRM-layer. Existing CRM investment you don’t want to replace. Rapid deployment needs. Best-in-class AI chat/voice without building from scratch.
When Platforms Win
You’re already committed to a CRM platform and want one vendor. Tight integration with sales/service/marketing matters more than best-in-class CX. Budget discipline favoring consolidation.
