Most common complaint
Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page
Two tiers with no figure and no trial offered on the page
Prices are published for the API but not for the DAM, so the product being compared with a DAM still has no price
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats

“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.

Mylio Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
