Verdict
A flat-fee-per-account DAM and MAM with a free 500GB/5-user tier and unlimited paid users, for teams willing to pilot without much recent independent review evidence.
A team file library billed as a flat monthly fee with unlimited users, aimed at organisations where most people only need to download an approved file a few times a month.
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.
An open-licence, self-hosted DAM for teams with in-house server admin capability, trading a free licence for the time to run upgrades, tune dependencies and troubleshoot it themselves.

Flat price per account by volume; the vendor states there are no per-user fees
Flat price per account — users are not a billing unit
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.
Self-hosted: no licence fee. Hosted: a user ceiling per tier

Most common complaint
On-premise is available only in the enterprise tier, whose price is not published
Storage ceilings are modest next to enterprise platforms, so large video libraries outgrow the tiers quickly
Not checked
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
