ImageKit, Contentstack, Frontify, Bynder

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”.

One of these tells you the order of magnitude before you speak to anyone, and the others do not. That difference sets how long your evaluation takes, whatever the software does.

Most common complaint
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with
No figure anywhere on the pricing page, so the order of magnitude is unknowable before a call

“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.
