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
An on-premise DAM known for deep metadata and search, for existing Portfolio users who size and maintain their own server, now under Axle AI ownership after a March 2026 acquisition.
A PIM platform with a built-in DAM module, used by manufacturing and ecommerce companies to manage product data and assets; also available as a free open-source Community Edition.
A digital asset management platform for manufacturing and AEC companies, rebranded from Digizuite in 2024, integrated with KeyShot's 3D product-visualization suite.
A Windows-only photo cataloging tool for large image libraries (50,000+ files), built by a single developer, sold as a one-time perpetual licence instead of a subscription.

Quoted per customer; the licensing model was preserved through the change of owner
No genuine dollar pricing is published. The vendor's package-comparison page lists four tiers: Community Edition (free, open-source, self-hosted), Growth (SaaS, shown only as "Starting at $0 Annually" with a free-trial CTA — no real recurring price disclosed), Advanced and Premium (both "Call for a quote"). No billing unit (per user, per SKU, per asset, per GB) is stated anywhere on the site for the paid tiers.
Not published. Pricing is quote-only via 'Request pricing' / 'Contact sales' on the vendor's own product page; no per-user, per-GB, or flat-rate billing unit is disclosed anywhere on the vendor's site.

Most common complaint
It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product

Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs
“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.
Portfolio
It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
IMatch
Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
