Most common complaint
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
Not checked
Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing 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.
