Most common complaint
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats
A page titled pricing that contains a benefit calculator instead of prices

“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.
