A modular model — you pay for the modules you take
No genuine dollar pricing is published. The vendor's package-comparison page lists four tiers: Community Edition (free, open-source, self-hosted), Growth (SaaS, shown only as "Starting at $0 Annually" with a free-trial CTA — no real recurring price disclosed), Advanced and Premium (both "Call for a quote"). No billing unit (per user, per SKU, per asset, per GB) is stated anywhere on the site for the paid tiers.
Personal, Family and Business plans; no amounts on the page
Flat price per account — users are not a billing unit

Most common complaint
The pricing page works as a lead form rather than a price list
Not checked
Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page
Storage ceilings are modest next to enterprise platforms, so large video libraries outgrow the tiers quickly

“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.

FotoWare The pricing page works as a lead form rather than a price list — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Mylio Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Filecamp Storage ceilings are modest next to enterprise platforms, so large video libraries outgrow the tiers quickly — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.

No email required — the page prints as it stands.
