Most common complaint
The product is mid-generation: Phrasea is announced to replace Phraseanet in 2026
Not checked
Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats

“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.
