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

Not checked

The tier is capped by download count as well as volume, which is a less familiar unit to budget against

“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
