Most common complaint
Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs
Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted
The tier is capped by download count as well as volume, which is a less familiar unit to budget against
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you

“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.

IMatch Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
