Platform finder

Find a DAM platform

Every platform below was checked on the vendor’s own pages, not on an aggregator. Filter by what you actually need — the type of system, the sector you work in, the features you cannot do without — and the list narrows. Conditions combine with AND, so each one you add cuts the list rather than growing it.

67 platforms of 67 match — narrow it down on the left.

4ALLPORTAL

A DAM and PIM platform for mid-sized and enterprise companies with complex product data, not built for small teams.

Price published
No
Billed by
not disclosed — vendor states pricing is individually configured based on feature scope, integrations, hosting, and services; no per-user/per-GB/flat/credit unit is published

+ DAM and PIM run on one platform, so product records and their media are administered from a single configurable schema − The same G2 pool calls the tool overkill and relatively costly for small teams, narrowing the fit to mid-market and up

ACDSee

A disk-native photo cataloguer and batch editor sold as a one-off perpetual licence, for photographers with large libraries who don't need Lightroom/Capture One-level RAW editing.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
One-off perpetual licence; a cloud subscription is sold separately
Transparency
90%

+ Browses and edits straight off the existing folder tree instead of importing into a managed catalog, so a large library needs no ingest step − RAW processing and local adjustment precision trail Lightroom Classic and Capture One; an independent reviewer rated the RAW engine merely reasonable

Acquia DAM

A quote-only enterprise DAM (formerly Widen) built on configurable metadata and external sharing portals, for organisations already standardised on the Acquia stack.

Price published
No
Billed by
Organisation size, user count, storage volume and feature set
Transparency
20%

+ Organization rests on a customizable metadata schema with AI auto-tagging rather than a fixed folder tree, so the model can match how the business names things − Search frequently returns results that do not match what was typed when the taxonomy was set up loosely — one of the most repeated cons on both review sites

Adobe Experience Manager Assets

An enterprise DAM module within Adobe Experience Manager, for large organizations managing thousands to millions of brand assets across marketing channels.

Price published
No
Billed by
No public price list; sales quote required for both packages (Prime and Ultimate). Adobe's own on-premise product description sheet lists separate license metrics per component — AEM Assets itself is licensed 'Per Instance', 'Users' are licensed 'Per User', Brand Portal is licensed 'Per Brand Portal User', and Dynamic Media/Personalized Media are licensed by 'Page Views per month' — so billing is multi-metric and only available via custom quote, not a single flat per-user or per-GB rate.

+ AI smart tagging, C2PA Content Credentials and watermarking are documented as part of the Assets product rather than as third-party bolt-ons − No numbers are published anywhere: both the Prime and Ultimate packages show only a 'Get pricing' call to action on Adobe's own pricing page

Air

A visually organized, board-based DAM for photo/image-heavy creative and marketing teams, with a genuinely usable free tier and a history of shifting, steep paid-tier pricing.

Price published
No
Billed by
Credits; users are not billed
Transparency
60%

+ The free plan is a real workspace, not a trial: no time limit, no card required, unlimited seats, 120 credits a month (~20GB) − Moved off roughly $10-25/user/month seat pricing to package tiers, then raised those tiers again inside the same year

Akeneo

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.

Price published
No
Billed by
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.

+ Assets sit in the same model as product data, so a SKU's images inherit its channel, locale and enrichment rules − The native Asset Manager belongs to the Enterprise/Serenity tier; on free Community Edition the DAM means a third-party extension

Amplience

A headless content-and-commerce platform with a bundled DAM module, for retail/ecommerce teams that want a marketer-friendly UI and can tolerate slower publish times.

Price published
No
Billed by
Content volume, storage and depth of automation
Transparency
10%

+ Every image is exposed as a URL-addressable API with auto-cropping, focal-point detection and video transcoding − Newly updated media can take up to a day to appear live, and G2's aggregated cons list separately flags slow loading

Aprimo

An enterprise marketing-work-management platform with a bundled, AI-tagged DAM, for large brand organisations able to staff a multi-month rollout and a budget well past the list price.

Price published
No
Billed by
Chosen products and number of users
Transparency
10%

+ AI auto-tagging plus duplicate-asset detection removes manual metadata work on libraries large enough that hand-tagging has stopped being viable − Rollout takes roughly five months on average and in practice depends on Aprimo's paid Concierge service to configure the platform properly

Brandfolder

A polished, search-first brand asset DAM sold standalone under Smartsheet ownership, priced for mid-market and enterprise budgets around a $24,700/year median contract.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency
0%

+ Metadata and tag-based search plus filtering is the single most repeated praise across the largest review corpus in this set, with onboarding described as near-training-free − No prices on the site — three tiers are described by feature only, with user, storage and API limits deferred to the quote

Brandworkz

A brand-guidelines and asset portal for mid-market marketing teams, with a genuine free tier that covers a branded guidelines page but not the full asset library or workflow tools.

Price published
No
Billed by
Number of users and the tier selected
Transparency
40%

+ The free Essentials tier is a working public brand site with logo, colour and font guidelines and no credit card required − SSO, approval workflow and the Adobe and MS Office integrations only begin at the third (Professional) tier

Bunny.net

A CDN and edge-computing platform bundling storage, video streaming, DNS and image optimization, aimed at developers and cost-conscious teams as an alternative to larger CDN providers.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Primarily pay-as-you-go per GB of bandwidth/storage (CDN from $0.01/GB standard, volume network from $0.005/GB down to $0.002/GB; Storage from $0.01/GB standard tier, $0.02/GB edge SSD tier; Stream storage from $0.01/GB and CDN from $0.005/GB), with a $1/month account minimum. Bunny Optimizer is a flat $9.50/month per website (unlimited optimizations). No per-request fees. Enterprise-scale volume (above 2PB) requires contacting sales.

+ Publishes per-GB CDN rates on the site ($0.01/GB in Europe and North America, $0.005/GB on the Volume network) with a $1 monthly minimum, so a budget can be sized before signup − The S3-compatible storage layer does not support object versioning, so an overwrite destroys the previous file with no rollback

Bynder

An enterprise brand-asset DAM built for controlled distribution to many consumers of assets, that needs a permanently staffed administrator and slows down on large files.

Price published
No
Billed by
Modular packages, quoted per customer
Transparency
0%

+ Verified-tier ratings hold up with no 1- or 2-star reviews at all: 46% five-star and 49% four-star − Uploads stall or freeze on large files and search plus thumbnail generation slow down on big libraries — the same complaint recurs in 2011, 2018, 2023 and 2025 reviews

Canto

A DAM built around search and tagging for mid-market teams, with unlimited free view-only accounts but per-seat pricing for editors that only appears after a sales quote.

Price published
No
Billed by
Team size and storage volume
Transparency
20%

+ Consumer (view-only) accounts draw from a seat pool separate from power users, so a read-only audience does not consume paid licences − No prices published at any of the four tiers; every tier button routes to 'Get pricing' or 'Talk to sales'

CELUM

An enterprise DAM bundled with workflow and creative-review tools, aimed at mid-to-large manufacturing and consumer brands needing deep Adobe/PIM/CMS/e-shop integration and partner-led setup.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency
0%

+ Connectors to Adobe Creative Cloud, CMS, PIM and e-shop systems plus automatic file-format conversion are the most-cited functional strengths − Configuring asset types, metadata schemas and workflows typically pulls in a CELUM implementation partner or paid consulting on top of subscription

Censhare

An enterprise PIM, DAM and content management platform, for multi-brand retailers, manufacturers and publishers with multilingual product content.

Price published
No
Billed by
Not published — quote-only (custom enterprise pricing via demo request; no plans, per-user, or per-GB figures disclosed on site)

+ DAM, PIM and CMS run on one semantic database, so assets and product records are related in a single model instead of synchronised between systems − PeerSpot has collected zero reviews; censhare appears there only as category mindshare (#32 in Web Content Management at 1.2%)

Cloudflare Images

A cloud service for storing, resizing, optimizing and delivering images via API and CDN, aimed at developers building web and mobile apps that handle images at scale.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Storage ($5 / 100,000 images stored / month), delivery ($1 / 100,000 images delivered / month), and transformations (first 5,000 unique transformations/month free, then $0.50 / 1,000 unique transformations/month). A unique transformation is billed per distinct parameter combination (e.g. same image at 100x100 and 200x200 counts as two). Storage/delivery charges apply only to images hosted in Cloudflare Images; transforming externally-hosted images is billed only under transformations.

+ Unit pricing is published to the cent: $5 per 100,000 images stored, $1 per 100,000 delivered, $0.50 per 1,000 unique transformations − Hosted images are capped at 10 MB each, 100 megapixels of area and 12,000 pixels per side — 1,200 pixels for AVIF — which excludes print masters and large scans

Cloudinary

A developer-facing image and video transformation API and CDN, billed from one pooled credit balance covering storage, transformations and bandwidth together.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Credits: one credit is 1,000 transformations, or 1 GB of storage, or 1 GB of video bandwidth
Transparency
60%

+ Transformation breadth and CDN-backed delivery are the one theme every review pool agrees on, including one page-load time halved − Storage, transformations and delivered bandwidth all draw from one credit pool, so no resource has a separable line item

Contentstack

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.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency
30%

+ TrustRadius reviewers credit an assigned Customer Success Manager with carrying the implementation, scoring 8.2/10 overall − Licensing is per named user rather than concurrent, so occasional viewers each consume a full seat

Daminion

A DAM offered as both cloud and on-premise, aimed at small-to-mid teams that want fast metadata-driven search over large asset libraries and want files to stay on their own infrastructure.

Price published
No
Billed by
Annual subscription covering all features, integrations, updates and support
Transparency
30%

+ Tags are written into the files' own metadata rather than only a database, so the cataloguing survives a later move to another tool − The verified review tier is empty: Gartner Peer Insights has zero reviews, PeerSpot none collected, TrustRadius too few to compute a score

Dash

A cloud asset library for small-to-mid ecommerce and DTC brands, priced as a flat monthly fee with unlimited users, tiered by storage and downloads.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Flat price per account; users are unlimited, tier set by storage and downloads
Transparency
60%

+ Every tier includes unlimited users, so adding an agency, franchise or retail partner adds no seat cost − Downloads are metered, not unlimited: 250 per month on the £79 tier and 500 on the £179 tier

digiKam

Free, open-source, cross-platform photo cataloging software for large RAW libraries, with tagging, geotagging and duplicate detection, meant to pair with a separate RAW editor.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Free software, no licence fee
Transparency
100%

+ Costs nothing at any library size or user count, with no licence tier gating tagging, geotagging or duplicate detection − Database corruption after metadata writes to XMP sidecars, and schema-migration failures on upgrade, recur across bug reports

Excire

AI-assisted photo search and culling software for photographers with large local archives, sold as a one-time purchase that runs without uploading files to the cloud.

Price published
No
Billed by
One-off purchase, no subscription
Transparency
60%

+ The vendor states all AI analysis runs on the local machine and photos are never sent to a cloud − Auto-generated keywords come out too generic on complex scenes, per several independent reviewers

Filecamp

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.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Flat price per account — users are not a billing unit
Transparency
70%

+ Price is published in full — three tiers with monthly and annual figures, rare in this market − Storage ceilings are modest — 20/50/100 GB, so video libraries outgrow the tiers quickly

Filestack

A file upload, transformation, and delivery API with a drop-in picker for 20+ sources, for developers adding file handling to web and mobile apps.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Monthly subscription tiers with bundled resource allowances (bandwidth in GB, uploads counted per file, transformations per file/image operation, storage in GB, number of team members), plus per-unit overage fees once a tier's allowance is exceeded (e.g. Start plan overage is $0.2/GB bandwidth).

+ Publishes full per-plan pricing: a free 1 GB tier then $69, $199 and $379 a month with stated upload and transform caps − The filestack-js repository carries 121 open issues against 22 open pull requests, a backlog clearing slower than it grows

FotoWare

A modular, metadata-heavy DAM aimed at large organisations with IT capacity to manage taxonomy, sold through quote-based pricing with on-prem and private-cloud options.

Price published
No
Billed by
A modular model — you pay for the modules you take
Transparency
10%

+ Reviewers report sub-second retrieval across large libraries because the index is built on metadata, not folder structure − No numbers anywhere on the pricing page — it is a modular quote model where you submit a form and a rep calls back within a business day

Frontify

A brand-management platform built around a single, always-current source of truth for guidelines, logos and templates, aimed at brand teams working with internal staff and external agencies.

Price published
No
Billed by
Monthly active users
Transparency
30%

+ Guideline, logo and template changes propagate to linked portals in real time, so external agencies pull the current version rather than a stale download − No list price is published anywhere on the site; every package is assembled in a sales conversation after a needs assessment

HyperCMS

An open-source DAM, CMS, and PIM platform combining asset, content, and product management for mid-to-large enterprises in banking, insurance, and retail.

Price published
No
Billed by
Cloud service: billed by storage capacity (GB) plus which optional modules you select; user accounts are unlimited/uncapped. No public price list — pricing is obtained via a configurator/calculator or by requesting a quote. On-premise/hosted deployments use Free, Standard, and Enterprise license editions (feature-gated), also quote-only. A non-commercial Free Edition exists with no disclosed price.

+ Ships DAM, CMS and PIM as one stack, so assets, web pages and product records sit in a single repository − The 17 Capterra reviews cluster in 2015-2017 with a single one since, so nothing independent describes the current build

ImageKit

An image and video CDN with an API-first asset library, built for fast developer integration, billed on flat monthly tiers with per-GB overage once bandwidth or storage limits are exceeded.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Bandwidth, storage and user seats, with published per-unit rates above the limits
Transparency
70%

+ Publishes every self-serve price — Lite $9/mo, Pro $89/mo — plus the exact overage rates, so a budget can be sized before any sales call − Bandwidth overage is billed at $0.50/GB on Lite and $0.45/GB on Pro, so a traffic spike lands outside the flat tier

IMatch

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.

Price published
No
Billed by
Perpetual licence, no subscription
Transparency
60%

+ Full IPTC, EXIF and XMP support with hierarchical categories, keywords and a built-in thesaurus − Windows only, with no macOS build; Mac users are routinely pointed at Photo Supreme instead

imgix

An image and video API for real-time resizing, compression, and format conversion via URL parameters, built for developers at ecommerce, media, and agency teams.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Consumption-based credits, sold in monthly tiers ($25–$500/mo self-serve, custom above that). Credits are spent on Management (2 credits/GB/month for stored assets), Delivery (1 credit/GB bandwidth), and Transformation (variable by operation). Per-credit rate drops as plan tier rises ($0.25 down to $0.12, monthly billing; slightly cheaper on annual commitment). Each plan also states an implied storage/bandwidth cap in GB.

+ Transformations are driven by URL parameters, so a resize needs no build step, no SDK call and no re-upload − Not a system of record: no rights management, approval workflow, versioning or client-facing portal is documented

IntelligenceBank

A compliance-focused DAM with built-in audit trails and multi-stage approval workflows, aimed at regulated industries like pharma, finance, insurance and franchise/multi-brand marketing teams.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Package, number and type of users, storage and add-ons
Transparency
30%

+ Audit trails, permission controls and multi-stage approvals are cited by finance, insurance and health reviewers as usable in internal audits − Bulk downloads are reported to cap out around 150 files, which forces large exports into batches

Islandora

An open-source, community-governed digital repository platform on Drupal, for libraries, archives, and museums to manage digital collections.

Price published
No
Billed by
No published price on islandora.ca — the core software is free open source ("free to use and always will be"). Paid options are hosting/installation/migration/support/training contracts sold by independent third-party service providers listed on islandora.ca/service-providers (e.g. Born-Digital, discoverygarden); islandora.ca itself does not publish their rates or billing units.

+ Released under open-source licences and free to use, with no seat or storage metering by any vendor − You supply the infrastructure — installation is Docker or manual, and the Foundation hosts nothing itself

KeyShot Dock (formerly Digizuite)

A digital asset management platform for manufacturing and AEC companies, rebranded from Digizuite in 2024, integrated with KeyShot's 3D product-visualization suite.

Price published
No
Billed by
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.

+ An integrated 3D previewer lets 3D product assets be inspected from every angle inside the library rather than downloaded first − Whole review record is 3 Gartner Peer Insights entries and 7 on G2, far too few to reveal any behavioural pattern

Kontainer

A Nordic/European DAM, with optional PIM, aimed at mid-market brand, retail and ecommerce teams wanting fast onboarding without heavy IT involvement, backed by a 30-day no-commitment trial.

Price published
No
Billed by
Depends on configuration; several features are priced separately
Transparency
20%

+ Non-technical marketing staff set up folders, tags and metadata themselves, with onboarding repeatedly described as needing no IT involvement − Packages are storage-gated with no published prices, and at least one reviewer hit the ceiling and had to upgrade earlier than budgeted

Kontent.ai

A headless CMS with a built-in asset library for images and files, not a standalone DAM — it lacks file versioning, rights/expiry management and native video transcoding.

Price published
No
Billed by
Seats, content types and volume
Transparency
10%

+ Publishes hard asset ceilings in public docs: 2 GB per file, 1,000,000 assets and 1,000 folders per environment − Replacing a file mints a new URL, so every downstream reference to the old asset breaks

Lytho

A combined creative-operations platform pairing brand-portal DAM with proofing and approval workflows, for in-house teams that want both under one roof rather than a DAM-only search specialist.

Price published
No
Billed by
Team size, product mix and configuration
Transparency
10%

+ Runs multi-tier approval routing, shared proof markup and version tracking in the same product as the brand portal − DAM search is the most-cited weak feature: reviewers report tags that do not reliably return the asset they were applied to

MediaValet

A cloud DAM billed by storage and configuration rather than seat count, aimed at agencies and distributed marketing teams with large or growing user bases where per-seat pricing would balloon.

Price published
No
Billed by
Not per user — the vendor states unlimited users and permission groups
Transparency
20%

+ Licence covers unlimited users, admins and roles — the invoice is driven by storage and configuration, so headcount growth does not move it − Mobile app and mobile web are repeatedly described as unusable next to the desktop web app, ruling out field capture and on-site approval

Mylio

A peer-to-device photo sync and library tool for individuals and families with photos spread across computers, phones and tablets who want them synced without uploading to a public cloud.

Price published
No
Billed by
Personal, Family and Business plans; no amounts on the page
Transparency
50%

+ Syncs a library peer-to-peer between the owner's own devices with no forced upload to a vendor cloud − The pricing page shows no dollar figures at all, only Get Special Offer buttons on each tier

NetX

A digital asset management platform for enterprises, agencies, museums, and nonprofits, paired with in-house consulting and data-migration services.

Price published
No
Billed by
Not disclosed publicly. Plans are differentiated by number of admin users, storage (TB), and number of portals (e.g. Essential: 5 admin users/1TB; Signature: 20 admin users/2TB/3 portals; Premium: 50 admin users/5TB/5 portals); exact per-unit or per-tier prices are not published, visitors must request a consult.

+ Offers cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployment instead of forcing a SaaS-only footprint − Quote-only pricing: the pricing page carries plan names and 'request a consult' buttons but no figures

Nextcloud

A self-hosted file-sync and collaboration platform some organisations stretch into asset-library duty; tagging, batch metadata editing and dynamic tag-based collections are still limited or missing.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Subscription per user per year, cheaper at volume
Transparency
80%

+ Server software is free and open source, so the asset store itself carries no per-seat licence fee − XMP/IPTC keywords written by Lightroom land as read-only text, not as searchable Nextcloud tags

Nuxeo

An API-first, developer-configurable content platform with DAM features, built for enterprise teams (100+ users) with in-house developers, not a low-code tool for non-technical editors.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency
10%

+ Ships a document-oriented REST API plus a command-oriented API for complex content interactions, documented on the vendor product page − Installation and configuration require developer expertise, and the G2 Ease of Setup subscore sits well below the product's overall rating

OpenAsset

A project-based DAM for AEC design and architecture firms that syncs with Deltek Vision/Vantagepoint and places tagged project photos directly into InDesign proposals and RFPs.

Price published
No
Billed by

Transparency
0%

+ Syncs with Deltek Vision/Vantagepoint including the project number field, removing manual double entry between CRM and asset library − Search quality collapses when uploads are not tagged consistently at ingestion, with results described as incomplete or confusing

Optimizely

A DAM module bundled inside the Optimizely CMS/Content Marketing Platform/DXP, for teams already on Optimizely who don't need best-of-breed asset management, bulk operations, or metadata governance.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency
0%

+ DAM now has its own product page plus asset-picker integrations documented for CMS 11, 12 and CMS SaaS − No standalone DAM listing on G2, Capterra, TrustRadius or Gartner — assets surface only as lines inside CMS/CMP reviews

Orange Logic

A highly configurable DAM/MAM (Cortex) for museums, archives, media companies and multi-department organisations, with an admin ramp-up reviewers describe as weeks to months.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency

+ One deployment can serve brand asset management and archival collections at once, with expansive user-group permission controls − Admin ramp-up runs weeks to months and often involves formal administrator certification before the platform is usable

Papirfly

A DAM with built-in templated content production, for multi-market or franchise brands whose local offices need to self-serve on-brand assets without looping in central design.

Price published

Transparency
10%

+ Non-designers produce on-brand assets from locked templates with little training, the most repeated praise across every pool reached − The vendor explicitly declines to publish flat pricing, arguing it would oversimplify a strategic investment, so every deal is scoped by sales

Photo Mechanic

A RAW/JPEG ingest and culling tool for photojournalists, sports and wedding shooters processing large batches fast, before handing files to Lightroom, Capture One or a DAM.

+ Scrolled a 400GB tree of 37,000 files across 16,000 folders without lag once indexed, in a hands-on test − A perpetual licence carries only one year of updates, then freezes on its last compatible OS

PhotoPrism

A self-hosted, single-container photo indexer under AGPL/commercial licensing, for people who want a private on-hardware archive without Google-Photos-level AI tagging or mobile app polish.

Price published

+ Indexes photos in place, so an existing folder structure is read as-is instead of being imported into a proprietary store − Face clustering misgroups children and non-Caucasian faces, which maintainers attribute to the underlying model's training data

PhotoShelter

A cloud portfolio and image-storage platform for individual photographers, with client galleries and built-in print/licensing sales.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quote-only. Priced per named "Library Seat" (2-5 seats depending on tier, custom for Enterprise) plus a storage allotment per tier (1TB-5TB, custom for Enterprise) and a cap on "Advanced Integrations" (0 to unlimited). Unlimited invited/contributor users and unlimited Social Content Publisher seats included on all/most tiers. Annual or monthly billing toggle shown on the pricing page, but no dollar amounts are published — all tiers show a "Get Pricing" CTA to a demo/sales call.

+ TrustRadius puts the Brands line at 9/10, the strongest verified-tier reading of the two product families − Pricing is quote-only: the brands pricing page names five tiers and their limits but publishes no prices

PhotoShelter Brands

A DAM platform for brand and marketing teams, built for real-time camera-to-cloud photo and video distribution during live events.

Price published
No
Billed by
Plan tiers differ by number of Library (admin) seats and storage (TB); unlimited invited/contributor users on every tier. No dollar figures published — all tiers show a "Get Pricing" CTA leading to a sales/demo form.

+ Camera-to-cloud ingest lands photos in the library during a live event rather than after the shoot − Not one price is published: all five tiers, Starter through Enterprise, route through a sales conversation

Phraseanet

A free, self-hosted GPLv3 DAM used by French public-sector, cultural and broadcast institutions with in-house technical staff, now being sunset by its vendor in favor of a paid successor, Phrasea.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
No licence fee; implementation and support services may be paid
Transparency
90%

+ Free under GPLv3 with no per-seat licence cost — the entire product is self-hosted at zero software spend − The vendor states Phrasea replaces Phraseanet in 2026 — a separate MIT-licensed rewrite, with paid migration rather than an upgrade path

Pics.io

A digital asset management platform layered on Google Drive (or S3/Dropbox), for marketing, creative, and e-commerce teams organizing and sharing brand assets in place.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Flat monthly/annual subscription per plan tier (tiers differ by included user count and storage cap), plus per-additional-teammate add-on fee ($15-25/mo depending on plan) and optional paid feature add-ons (custom fields, watermarking, branding, API, CSV import, Okta SSO, etc.)

+ Sits on top of existing Google Drive, S3 or Dropbox storage, so no asset migration is needed to start − SSO is not in any paid band — it sits behind a $200/mo Enterprise add-on

Pimcore

An open-source PHP/Symfony platform unifying PIM, DAM, CMS and MDM on one codebase, for teams with in-house developers or an integrator partner rather than a marketing team wanting to self-serve.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Annual licence per edition, not per user
Transparency
100%

+ Product data, assets, content and master data share one Symfony codebase and one data model − Implementation needs PHP/Symfony developers; the vendor's own G2 summary scored Ease of Setup lowest at 80%

Piwigo

A self-hosted, permission-based photo/video catalog with album hierarchies, tagging and a large plugin ecosystem, for archives and small orgs willing to maintain their own server as the library grows.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Flat price per account by storage; users are unlimited
Transparency
100%

+ Album hierarchy with per-album permissions plus a 200+ plugin and theme ecosystem for extending the catalog − Performance degrades sharply past tens of thousands of photos: admin pages reported taking minutes, thumbnail rebuilds backing up

Pixelboxx

An on-prem, cloud or hybrid DAM aimed at likely DACH-region enterprise manufacturers who need to keep data in-house, with a public review record too thin to lean on without running your own trial.

Price published
No
Billed by
Quoted per customer
Transparency
20%

+ Two of the three reviewers describe it as stable and reliable in daily image archiving, with no crash or downtime complaints − Two of the three reviewers found the user-rights and admin permission model hard to learn and unclearly laid out in the UI

Plytix

A combined PIM and DAM platform for managing product data and media, built for SMB and mid-market ecommerce brands, manufacturers, and agencies.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
Tiered plans priced by SKU (product) count, not by user seat — all plans include unlimited user seats. Each tier also caps monthly AI credits, API calls/hour, and DAM file storage + CDN traffic (GB/month). Standard is free (500 SKUs, 50GB storage); Pro is $499/mo (50,000 SKUs, 750GB storage); Enterprise is custom/quote-only (unlimited SKUs, custom storage). Optional flat-fee add-ons (Product Feeds $300/mo, Brand Portals $300/mo, Product Data Sheets $200/mo) and one-time onboarding fees ($0 / $3,000 / custom).

+ Publishes real numbers: a $0 Standard plan capped at 500 SKUs and a $499/mo Pro plan capped at 50,000 SKUs − Cloud-only SaaS — no on-premise or hybrid deployment is described anywhere on the vendor's own site

+ Watch folders ingest automatically and inject metadata templates without an operator touching each file − No pricing published anywhere on the vendor site; every route ends at a talk-to-an-expert form

Razuna

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.

Transparency

+ Priced per account rather than per seat: $99 per month covers 1 TB and an unlimited number of users − The whole independent review trail is 4 Capterra reviews dated 2014–2019, one of which is duplicated on G2

ResourceSpace

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.

Self-hosted: no licence fee. Hosted: a user ceiling per tier
Transparency
60%

+ No annual licence fee at all for the self-hosted build — the source is downloadable and installs on a standard LAMP stack − Major-version upgrades repeatedly break installs: a white screen moving 10.3 to 10.4, permissions failures after 10.7, and a migration script erroring outright

Salsify

A product experience management (PXM) platform for brands and manufacturers that centralizes and syndicates product data to retail and ecommerce channels.

Price published
No
Billed by
Not disclosed publicly — pricing page routes to Request Demo / Contact Sales only, no tiers, per-SKU/per-user/per-asset pricing, or plan names shown

+ Gartner Peer Insights rates it 4.5/5 across 42 reviews in the PIM market, a verified-tier sample most DAM vendors cannot match − The vendor frames DAM as an adjacent category and positions asset handling as PIM-plus, not a replacement for a dedicated DAM

Scaleflex

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.

+ A French SAS with documented EU-based processing, giving buyers a verifiable data-residency answer versus US-hosted rivals − No prices are published anywhere — every tier is quote-only, so a budget cannot be sized without contacting sales

Sitecore Content Hub

An enterprise DAM/PIM module inside the Sitecore content-operations suite, built for organisations already standardised on Sitecore XM Cloud/XP with developers or an SI partner on hand.

+ DAM, PCM, CMP and MRM share one content model, taxonomy and workflow engine, so assets cross modules without duplication − Capterra ease-of-use sits at 3.4/5 against a 4.2/5 overall — it is liked more than it is operable

Storyteq

A template-driven creative-automation platform for producing localized video and banner ad variants at scale, with asset storage bundled in rather than offered as a standalone DAM.

+ Renders large batches of localized video and banner variants from a single template, the most-cited win in the corpus − Templates constrain font, colour and drag-and-drop choices, so off-template creative still routes back to designers

Tenovos

An enterprise DAM for large consumer-goods and retail brands sold through direct sales relationships, with no meaningful footprint on G2, Capterra or TrustRadius to cross-check claims against.

Price published

+ Founded in 2018 by DAM veterans out of Artesia Technologies and OpenText, so the team has shipped enterprise DAM before − No populated review profile on G2, Capterra or TrustRadius, so vendor claims cannot be cross-checked against a moderated base

Transloadit

A file-processing API that handles uploading, transforming, and delivering video, audio, images, and documents, for developers who'd otherwise build that infrastructure in-house.

Price published
Yes
Billed by
GB of data processed per month (combined input + output file size); paid tiers also gate priority processing slots, collaborator seats, and max file size. Overage on the paid Startup tier billed at $1.80/GB. Enterprise tier is custom/quote-based tiered pricing with whitelabeling.

+ Plans and allowances are published: a free Community tier with 5 GB a month and a $54/month Startup tier including 40 GB − The free tier watermarks output images and trims output video and audio, so production output cannot be trialled without paying

Uploadcare

A developer-first file upload and CDN/media-processing API for apps, pitched as a lighter, faster-to-integrate alternative to Cloudinary for teams that don't need its full DAM/video/AI stack.

Transparency

+ Publishes full rate card including overages: Pro at $66/mo, then $1.60 per 1,000 operations and $0.35 per GB of traffic − Operations billing counts every API request and outgoing webhook, plus an extra operation per 100 MB uploaded, so spend is hard to forecast

Wedia

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.

+ Customer service is the highest of Capterra's category subscores, and French-market summaries independently describe support as responsive − Value for money is the weakest Capterra subscore, and Info-Tech names cost as the leading weakness despite otherwise positive sentiment

WoodWing Assets

An enterprise digital asset management platform for newsrooms, publishers, museums, agencies, and manufacturers to organize and distribute digital assets.

Price published
No
Billed by
Not disclosed publicly. Pricing page shows three tiers (Starter, Advanced, Ultimate) all gated behind "Request a quote", billed annually; no per-user, per-GB, or credit figures are shown, so the actual billing unit cannot be confirmed from the vendor's site.

+ Automatic version control on every asset, singled out by the one detailed TrustRadius reviewer as a reason for the choice − Verified-tier evidence amounts to two TrustRadius reviews, the detailed one dating from 2021, so no trend can be read from it
