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
The tier is capped by download count as well as volume, which is a less familiar unit to budget against
Prices are published for the API but not for the DAM, so the product being compared with a DAM still has no price
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
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.
