| Cons | - −Engagements and retainers can be relatively expensive, with minimum fees around $5,000/month, which may be high for very small businesses. Like many growing agencies, some reviewers note occasional process or staffing growing pains, especially around rapid growth and the transition into Intero Digital. Limited automation compared with pure software platforms; most value comes from human expertise, and some users would like to see more tech-driven efficiencies.

| - −olidate those workflows into one AI-powered workspace. Is Scratchpad good for small businesses? Yes, Scratchpad can be a strong fit for small businesses that use Salesforce and want to improve data hygiene and sales productivity without heavy admin overhead. The free plan and lower-cost Solo tier allow individual reps and small teams to adopt the workspace quickly. However, very small organizations with a simple sales process or those not using Salesforce may find the value more limited. The greatest impact typically comes for SMB and mid-market teams with multiple sellers, defined sales stages, and a need to keep Salesforce data accurate for forecasting and reporting.
