Most common complaint
Neither tiers nor ranges
Not one tier and not one figure on the pricing page
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted

“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.

Amplience Neither tiers nor ranges — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Optimizely Not one tier and not one figure on the pricing page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Contentstack A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
IntelligenceBank Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
