| Pricing posture | Some price points published ($2, $199, $4.50) but plans/structure unclear and inconsistent with full pricing transparency. | Custom, quote-based pricing—no list prices published. | Gable shows some published price figures that require clarification of unit/seat limits; SchoolCare follows a quote-based model—expect negotiation and need to gather TCO details from both. |
