Verdict
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.
An image/video optimization and delivery API with a lightweight DAM layered on top, aimed at EU-based teams that want GDPR/France-hosted processing and hands-on vendor support.
An enterprise headless CMS and composable DXP for developer-led teams needing multi-channel content delivery, with a native asset-management module that's newer and thinly reviewed.
A DAM, PIM-adjacent and brand-portal platform for large multi-brand enterprises (Michelin, Decathlon, Bayer-scale customers), quote-priced and built around a dedicated admin who configures it.

Most common complaint
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
Three tiers described by features, none of them priced
A free start exists, but the terms for moving to a paid tier are not on the page
Neither tiers nor ranges — only a form and a demo

“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.
