Most common complaint
Not one tier and not one figure on the pricing page
Not checked
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with
Neither tiers nor ranges

“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.

Optimizely Not one tier and not one figure on the pricing page — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Frontify The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Amplience Neither tiers nor ranges — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
