Verdict
A headless content-and-commerce platform with a bundled DAM module, for retail/ecommerce teams that want a marketer-friendly UI and can tolerate slower publish times.
A developer-facing image and video transformation API and CDN, billed from one pooled credit balance covering storage, transformations and bandwidth together.
A brand-management platform built around a single, always-current source of truth for guidelines, logos and templates, aimed at brand teams working with internal staff and external agencies.
A DAM, PIM-adjacent and brand-portal platform for large multi-brand enterprises (Michelin, Decathlon, Bayer-scale customers), quote-priced and built around a dedicated admin who configures it.

Most common complaint
Neither tiers nor ranges
Prices are published for the API but not for the DAM, so the product being compared with a DAM still has no price
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with
Neither tiers nor ranges — only a form and a demo

“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.
