Side by side on what we have verified on each vendor’s own pages. Where a fact was not checked, the table says so rather than leaving a blank that reads as “no”.

Most common complaint
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
The tiers are named and described but cannot be compared on cost
Feature-level add-on pricing makes the final figure hard to anticipate before a quote
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.
