Most common complaint

The tier is capped by download count as well as volume, which is a less familiar unit to budget against

Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted

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

Prices are published for the API but not for the DAM, so the product being compared with a DAM still has no price

“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.
