Most common complaint
Not checked
A page titled pricing that contains a benefit calculator instead of prices
The pricing page works as a lead form rather than a price list
Not checked

“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.

OpenAsset A page titled pricing that contains a benefit calculator instead of prices — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
FotoWare The pricing page works as a lead form rather than a price list — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.

No email required — the page prints as it stands.
