Most common complaint
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats
The pricing page contains neither tiers nor figures
Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with

“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.
