Most common complaint
It is a file platform with DAM features rather than a DAM: asset-level metadata and rights are thinner
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
No price anywhere on the site — only a demo
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

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.
