Most common complaint
Cost depends on four variables at once, none of them priced publicly
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats

“Not checked” means exactly that: we have not verified it, not that the platform lacks it. Every other value was read off the vendor’s own pages on the date shown on each platform page.

What to ask on the demo

One question per platform, drawn from what actually goes wrong with it — not a generic checklist. Vendors run the demo; this hands the agenda back to you.
