Orange Logic, Contentstack, Lytho, Air
Side by side on what we have verified on each vendor’s own pages. Where a fact was not checked, the table says so rather than leaving a blank that reads as “no”.
Everything else
Verdict
A highly configurable DAM/MAM (Cortex) for museums, archives, media companies and multi-department organisations, with an admin ramp-up reviewers describe as weeks to months.
An enterprise headless CMS and composable DXP for developer-led teams needing multi-channel content delivery, with a native asset-management module that's newer and thinly reviewed.
A combined creative-operations platform pairing brand-portal DAM with proofing and approval workflows, for in-house teams that want both under one roof rather than a DAM-only search specialist.
A visually organized, board-based DAM for photo/image-heavy creative and marketing teams, with a genuinely usable free tier and a history of shifting, steep paid-tier pricing.

Most common complaint
No price anywhere on the site — only a demo
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
The tiers are named but cannot be compared on cost
The free tier is described in detail while the paid tiers are named only
“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.
