Which Genesys Cloud CX plan should you choose?

Handle multiple channels, including voice, email, chat, and social
Need quality assurance and compliance tracking built in
Want omnichannel routing capabilities
Don't require workforce management tools yet

Choose CX 3 if you:

Need full WEM capabilities
Track employee performance metrics closely
Want AI-powered forecasting and scheduling
Require resource management and speech and text analytics

Choose CX 4 if you:

Need journey management across all customer touchpoints
Want 30 additional AI Experience tokens per named agent
Require virtual agents for advanced automation
Need social listening and engagement capabilities
Want Supervisor Copilot and Virtual Supervisor tools

Is Genesys Cloud CX worth the cost?

The platform delivers value when you use its advanced features, but smaller teams might overpay for capabilities they'll never touch.

Genesys delivers strong value for operations that use its advanced features. After testing all four tiers, we found CX 2 offers the best value-to-feature ratio for most growing teams.

Genesys Cloud CX is worth it if you:

Handle thousands of calls where predictive routing connects customers to the right rep and steadily improves results.
Need omnichannel capabilities that work together, not features that feel bolted on after the fact.
Want quality assurance tools that catch coaching opportunities your managers would miss on their own.
Operate at a scale where AI-powered Agent Copilot can reduce handle times across hundreds of calls daily.

Skip Genesys Cloud CX if you:

Run a small team where $75/user/month adds up to real money fast.
Only need basic voice calling without the bells and whistles.
Lack the technical resources to manage platform complexity. Genesys isn't exactly plug-and-play.
Already have specialized tools that work better than Genesys modules for your specific needs.
The platform's real strength shows up in omnichannel operations. Teams that only use voice features end up paying for capabilities they'll never touch.
Genesys works best when you take advantage of its routing intelligence, quality tools, and AI features across multiple channels at once. (Check out our other guide for more tips about using AI features in sales software.)

Alpharun + Genesys: The Complete Performance Stack

Genesys powers your contact center infrastructure. Alpharun transforms your reps into top performers. Together, they create a performance multiplier that neither platform achieves alone.

How Alpharun enhances your Genesys investment

Your Genesys platform already handles the heavy lifting, including routing, workforce management, and omnichannel coordination. Alpharun adds the AI coaching layer that turns good infrastructure into extraordinary results.

What Alpharun brings to Genesys teams

High-volume sales operations that need efficiency get coaching precision that matches their best managers' intuition. While Genesys tracks the basics (talk time, hold rates, queue metrics), Alpharun digs into the conversations themselves.

Alpharun is also HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant because our customers operate in spaces where compliance failures have real consequences.

Genesys: The infrastructure foundation

Genesys excels at orchestrating complex contact center operations across every customer touchpoint.

Where Genesys shines:

Unified routing across email, chat, social, and voice channels
Built-in quality assurance workflows
Enterprise-grade workforce management
Rock-solid infrastructure for multi-channel operations

Better together: The integration advantage

Alpharun plugs directly into your existing Genesys environment. No rip-and-replace. No parallel systems.

The combined workflow:

Genesys routes calls to the right reps at the right time.
Alpharun analyzes every conversation in real-time to help build custom agent scorecards.
Coaching insights flow directly to reps, no platform switching required.
Managers see performance data from both systems in unified dashboards.

Teams running both platforms report conversion rate improvements that neither system delivers alone:

Genesys ensures calls reach the right destination efficiently.
Alpharun ensures reps maximize every opportunity.
Infrastructure meets intelligence.

The real value in Genesys pricing

Genesys Cloud CX delivers the most value at CX 2 ($115/user/month) for teams using omnichannel features. CX 1 feels expensive for voice-only at $75/month. CX 3 and CX 4 only make sense at enterprise scale.

Here's what Genesys can't do: Identify why your top performers close more deals or coach the rest of your team to replicate those behaviors.

Genesys routes calls and tracks metrics. Alpharun analyzes what drives conversions and coaches every rep to perform like your best closers. Get automated quality management under control for every call.
