Two tiers with no figure and no trial offered on the page

“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.

Brandfolder Two tiers with no figure and no trial offered on the page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
