The panel's verdict
Workvivo by Zoom, an employee communication and intranet platform from Workvivo Limited of Cork, Ireland, scores highest on content and knowledge — a flat 8 — for version control with an audit trail, scheduled reviews and expiry dates, search across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box, translation across 90 languages, and a people directory with org chart. Engagement and feedback and integration and administration each sit at 7. The weak point is works council and privacy, a flat 4: the bench found no public information on works-agreement material, quiet hours, what an employer can see on private phones, or aggregated read analytics, while the pages advertise identifying individual employees who have not yet received critical communications. Scores run 6 to 7 on reach and targeting — campaigns credited, but no public information on login without a company email address — and on sovereignty, which weighs AWS Ireland standard hosting against selectable USA or UAE regions, a US parent, and optional chat and intelligent features running through US providers. No prices are published; pricing transparency scores span 0 to 2.
Speaks for it
- Knowledge pages carry automatic version control, an audit trail, and scheduled content reviews with expiry dates.
- Unified search spans SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box and ServiceNow from one search bar.
- Seer adds engagement and pulse surveys with AI comment analysis, benchmarking and recommended actions.
- Single sign-on via Microsoft Entra ID, Okta and Google Workspace joins automated user provisioning and de-provisioning and more than 40 out-of-the-box integrations.
- Accessibility is documented against WCAG 2.2 level A and AA with a published VPAT and screen-reader testing.
Held against it
- Works council and privacy scored 4, with no public information on works-agreement material, quiet hours, or separation of work and private data on personal phones.
- The pages advertise identifying individual employees who have not yet received critical communications, with no public statement that read and usage analytics are aggregated.
- No public information on how an employee without a company email address logs in to the app.
- EU residency is optional rather than guaranteed: customers can select USA or UAE hosting, the parent is Zoom in San Jose, and optional chat and AI features run through US providers.
- No public information on offline reading of pages or a full export of content and documents on exit.
Best for
- You need a maintained knowledge base — version control, audit trail, scheduled reviews — rather than an intranet nobody keeps current.
- Your teams live in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and want one search bar across SharePoint, OneDrive and Google Drive.
- You reach a multilingual workforce and need content translatable across 90 languages plus campaigns published once to app, desktop and digital signage.
- You want engagement and pulse surveys with benchmarking and recommended actions alongside onboarding journeys triggered automatically by start date.
Avoid if
- You must clear works-council co-determination before rollout — works council and privacy scored 4, and the pages advertise identifying individual employees who have not yet received critical communications.
- You require EU residency as a guarantee rather than an option — hosting is selectable as USA or UAE instead of Ireland, the parent is Zoom of San Jose, and intelligent features can route to Anthropic in the USA.
- Your frontline staff largely lack company email addresses — digital signage runs without any login, but the bench found no public documentation of app login without an email address.
- You need interactive onboarding workflows on day one — the captured pages announce them as coming soon.

Reach & targeted announcements
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How a message reaches every employee: a news feed and announcements on phone, browser and shared devices, targeting by site, department, role and language, access for staff without a company email address (invite codes, phone number, personnel number, QR codes, kiosk or shared devices), push notifications, mandatory reading with read confirmation, urgent alerts, scheduled posts, and reach analytics per message and audience.
0 — Not a communication tool; the company cannot publish news or announcements to employees in the product.
3 — A news feed or announcement channel for employees with company accounts; targeting, access without a company email address and reach figures are basic or not described.
5 — News and announcements targeted by group, site or role, delivered to a mobile app with push notifications and to the browser, employees without a company email address able to log in, and views or reach shown per post.
8 — Targeting by site, department, role and language from HR data, login documented for staff without email or company devices (personnel number, SMS code, shared devices), mandatory reading with read confirmation and reminders, urgent alerts that override quiet settings, scheduled and multi-channel posts (app, email, intranet, screens), and reach analytics per audience.
10 — Reach that can be proved: delivery and reading tracked per channel against the whole workforce, offline access and low-bandwidth delivery documented, crisis messages with acknowledgement and escalation, aggregated reports exportable, and the reach analytics described with the data they use.
The Internal Communications Lead
Publishing once to app, desktop, digital signage and email with campaign performance in one view, push notifications, office-closure and severe-weather alerts, and the ability to identify who has not yet received a critical message is close to what I need for a safety notice across eleven sites. Targeting by department, location and role through widgets, audience targeting and HR-enriched profiles is documented. I found no public information on how a shop-floor employee without a company email address actually logs in, nor on mandatory reading with read confirmation. 2 5 9 10 18
The Frontline Operations Lead
Push notifications to a mobile app, browser access, and workplace screens that need no login at all are documented, along with targeting by space, team or demographic, scheduled multi-channel campaigns, office-closure and severe-weather alerts, and analytics on who has and has not received a critical message. What decides it for me is that we found no public information on how a picker without a company email address actually logs in — no invite code, phone-number or personnel-number process — and no public information on mandatory reading with read confirmation. 2 5 9 10
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Announcements are targeted through spaces and audience targeting, pushed to the mobile app and browser, and campaigns are published once to app, desktop and digital signage with campaign, content and audience analytics — you can even identify who has not yet received critical communications. What I could not find for our 2,500 staff without a Microsoft licence is a documented way in without a company email address, and there is nothing public on mandatory reading with read confirmation or urgent alerts overriding quiet settings. 2 5 9 10
The Works Council Member
Push notifications to all employees, targeting by team or demographic through spaces and audience targeting, and campaigns published once to app, desktop and digital signage with performance and audience analytics are all documented; I found no public information on mandatory read confirmation, on how a colleague without a company email address logs in, or on urgent alerts overriding quiet settings. The advertised ability to identify individual employees who have not yet received critical communications is exactly the per-person visibility I would need bounded in a works agreement. 2 5 9 10
The Data Protection Officer
Announcements go out through campaigns and push notifications across app, desktop, email and digital signage, with a shared content calendar for scheduling and urgent office-closure and severe-weather alerts; campaign, content and audience analytics plus the ability to identify employees who have not yet received critical communications give reach figures per message and audience. We found no public information on mandatory reading with read confirmation, on how staff without a company email address log in, or on alerts that override quiet settings. 2 5 9 10
The Skeptic
There is real targeting here — audience targeting, spaces for specific teams and demographics, HR data feeding profiles for personalization — plus push notifications, scheduled multichannel campaigns across app, desktop and digital signage (screens that run without any login), severe weather and office closure alerts, and analytics that can even identify who has not yet received a critical message. What the pages never say is how a frontline worker without a company email address actually logs in, and read confirmation for mandatory messages is not described. 2 5 9 10
Pages, documents & knowledge
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What employees can look up: intranet pages and a content management system, documents and policies with versions and owners, search across content and connected systems, a people directory and org chart, multilingual content with machine translation of posts and pages, content review and expiry, and access from the app as well as the browser.
0 — No pages or documents; the product carries only messages that scroll away.
3 — Files or simple pages can be shared; search, translation, a people directory and content governance are basic or not described.
5 — Pages and a document area with permissions, search across the content, a people directory, content available in the mobile app, and posts or pages translatable into several languages.
8 — A content management system with templates, page ownership, review dates and versioning, search across connected systems (SharePoint, Google Drive or similar), automatic translation of posts, pages and comments into named languages, an org chart from HR data, and pages readable offline.
10 — Knowledge that stays current: content lifecycle and expiry enforced, search and AI answers that cite their sources and respect permissions, analytics on what is searched and not found, accessibility of the content stated against WCAG, and a full export of pages and documents.
The Internal Communications Lead
Knowledge pages, document management with automatic version control and scheduled review and expiry dates, unified search across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box, a people directory with org chart, and content translatable across 90 languages — that is a real content base for a workforce in four countries. I found no public information on pages being readable offline or on a full export of pages and documents. 5 9 12
The Frontline Operations Lead
Knowledge pages, document management with version control, scheduled review dates and expiry, unified search across SharePoint, Google Drive and OneDrive, a people directory with org chart, and automatic translation across 90 languages are all documented. The content lifecycle and the analytics on what employees search for and where they get stuck are unusually concrete; we found no public information on pages readable offline or on AI answers that cite their sources. 5 9 12 17
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Knowledge pages come with version control, an audit trail, scheduled content reviews and expiry dates — exactly what stops an intranet turning into a second SharePoint nobody maintains — plus unified search across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box, a people directory with org chart enriched by HR sync, and automatic translation into 90 languages. We found no public information on offline-readable pages or a full export of pages and documents. 5 12 14 17
The Works Council Member
Knowledge pages, document management with versioning and an audit trail, scheduled content reviews and expiry dates, search across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box and ServiceNow, a people directory with org chart, automatic translation across 90 languages and a WCAG 2.2 commitment are all publicly documented. I found no public information on offline reading of pages or on a full export of content and documents on exit. 5 9 12 14 15 18
The Data Protection Officer
A content hub with automatic version control and an audit trail, scheduled content reviews and expiration dates, search across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box and ServiceNow, automatic translation across 90 languages, and a people directory with org chart enriched from HR system data. Search analytics show what employees search for and where they get stuck, and the accessibility statement commits to WCAG 2.2 level A and AA with a published VPAT. We found no public information on pages readable offline, AI answers that cite their sources, or a full export of pages and documents. 2 5 9 12 14 15
The Skeptic
This is more than a feed: knowledge pages, automatic version control, scheduled content reviews and expiration dates, unified search across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box plus ServiceNow, search analytics showing what employees look for and where they get stuck, automatic translation into 90 languages, a people directory with org chart, and WCAG 2.2 accessibility documentation. Offline reading of pages and a full export of content are not described. 9 11 12 14 15 18
Engagement, surveys & onboarding
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the workforce answers back and gets started: comments, reactions and moderation, employee surveys and pulse checks with anonymity rules, recognition, user-generated posts and communities, onboarding journeys for new starters including those without a desk, event and campaign pages, and the measures the vendor offers to report engagement.
0 — One-way only; employees cannot react, comment or answer in the product.
3 — Likes and comments on posts; surveys, moderation and onboarding are basic or not described.
5 — Comments and reactions with moderation, surveys or polls sent to targeted groups with results shown, employee posts or communities, and an onboarding area or journey for new employees.
8 — Pulse and engagement surveys with a stated anonymity threshold, automated onboarding journeys timed from the start date and reaching new starters before their first shift, recognition, communities with moderation rules, and engagement reported per group without exposing individuals.
10 — Listening that leads to action: survey results tied to follow-up tasks and published back to the workforce, anonymity and minimum group sizes documented, onboarding journeys measured by completion, and engagement data exportable for analysis.
The Internal Communications Lead
Seer delivers engagement and pulse surveys with AI comment analysis, benchmarking and recommended actions, recognition runs through shout-outs and badges, and onboarding journeys trigger automatically by start date with dashboards tracking task completion and time to productivity. I found no public information on anonymity rules and minimum group sizes for survey results, or on moderation rules for communities — the two questions my works council would put first. 3 5 13 14
The Frontline Operations Lead
Shout-outs, badges and awards, community spaces, and a people-analytics module with engagement surveys, pulse surveys, sentiment analysis and benchmark reports are documented, and onboarding journeys can be triggered automatically by start date, group or department and completed in the mobile app, with dashboards tracking task completion and time to productivity. We found no public information on minimum group sizes or anonymity rules for survey results, on community moderation rules, or that a journey reaches a new starter before the first shift. 3 5 13 14
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Seer provides engagement and pulse surveys with AI comment clustering, sentiment tracking, benchmarking and recommended actions, recognition runs through shout-outs and badges, spaces work as communities, and onboarding journeys trigger automatically by start date, group or department, with dashboards tracking task completion and engagement. Anonymous feedback forms are named, but no anonymity minimum group size or moderation rules are documented, and interactive onboarding workflows are only announced as coming soon. 5 13 14
The Works Council Member
Seer brings engagement and pulse surveys with sentiment analysis and recommended actions, onboarding journeys trigger automatically by start date, group or department and are measured by completion dashboards, and recognition and communities are documented. But anonymity appears only as anonymous feedback forms with no stated minimum group size, and the onboarding dashboards let HR see exactly where each new hire stands — individual-level tracking I would not let pass unbounded. 3 5 9 13 14
The Data Protection Officer
Seer delivers engagement and pulse surveys with AI comment analysis, benchmarking and recommended actions, Journeys trigger onboarding automatically by start date, group or department and can be completed on the mobile app, recognition runs through shout-outs, badges and awards, and dashboards track task completion, engagement and time-to-productivity for new hires. We found no public information on a stated anonymity threshold or minimum group sizes, on moderation rules for communities, or on exporting engagement data for analysis. 3 5 13 14
The Skeptic
Comments, reactions and communities exist, and the survey side is serious — a separate people-intelligence product with engagement and pulse surveys, sentiment analysis, benchmarking and recommended actions — alongside recognition badges, shout-outs and onboarding journeys triggered automatically by start date, group or department with dashboards tracking task completion and time-to-productivity. But no anonymity rules or minimum group sizes for survey results are stated, moderation is not described, and reaching new starters before their first day is not documented. 3 5 13 14
Works council, private phones & privacy by design
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the product can be rolled out under German co-determination and data protection: guidance or a template for a works agreement (Betriebsvereinbarung, § 87 BetrVG), no individual performance or behaviour monitoring by default, read and usage analytics aggregated or configurable, use on private phones without a company device (BYOD) with work and private data separated, quiet hours and availability settings, voluntary use without an employee email address, data minimisation and deletion, and accessibility.
0 — Built to monitor the behaviour or performance of individual employees, with that monitoring sold as a feature.
3 — A general GDPR statement; works council, use on private phones, analytics on individuals and quiet hours are basic or not described.
5 — Use on private phones described with what the employer can and cannot see, analytics shown in aggregate, notification or quiet-hour settings, and works councils or employee representatives named as a topic with information offered.
8 — A works-agreement template or checklist published, individual tracking off by default or switchable per tenant, read confirmations limited to messages that require them, quiet hours enforced, a login without a private email or phone number, data minimisation and deletion periods stated, and accessibility to WCAG or BITV stated.
10 — Co-determination built into the product: every analytics view and its granularity documented for the works council, configuration logged, employee-facing privacy notices in the app, minimum group sizes for every report, and published references of works-council-approved rollouts.
The Internal Communications Lead
There is a proper GDPR footing — Irish controller, data-subject rights, deletion on request, SCCs for UK and US transfers — and accessibility is documented against WCAG 2.2 A and AA with a current VPAT and European Accessibility Act alignment. Beyond that I found no public information on works-agreement material, private-phone use with separated work and personal data, quiet hours, or how far read and usage analytics reach down to the individual employee. 6 15 16
The Frontline Operations Lead
A detailed privacy policy with employee rights, a DPO contact, deletion on request and no voluntary sharing with authorities is documented, plus a stated commitment to WCAG 2.2 level A and AA with VPAT documentation and screen-reader testing. For a rollout under German co-determination, though, we found no public information on a works-agreement template, on what the employer can and cannot see on private phones, on quiet hours, or on whether read and usage analytics are aggregated or configurable. 6 15 16
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
There is a full privacy policy — data-subject rights, retention only as long as necessary, deletion on request, transfers to the UK and US under SCCs and adequacy decisions — plus an unusually concrete accessibility statement at WCAG 2.2 level A and AA with VPAT 2.5 and named testing tools. For a German rollout we found no public information on works-agreement support, what an employer can see on private phones, quiet hours, or how people analytics are aggregated, and the privacy policy states no specific deletion periods. 6 15 16
The Works Council Member
There is a proper privacy policy with user rights, deletion on request, retention only as long as necessary and the stance that law-enforcement requests require valid legal process, plus a genuine accessibility commitment to WCAG 2.2 A/AA with a VPAT and screen-reader testing. Beyond that I found no public information on a works-agreement template, quiet hours, separation of work and private data on personal phones, or any statement that read and usage analytics are aggregated — while the public pages themselves advertise identifying individual employees who have not yet received communications. 6 9 14 15 16
The Data Protection Officer
The privacy policy names the controller, a DPO contact, deletion and portability rights, SCCs for UK and US transfers, and an accessibility commitment to WCAG 2.2 A/AA with a VPAT and regular testing. But what a German works council needs is absent: we found no public information on a works-agreement template or checklist, on use on private phones and what the employer can see, on quiet hours, or on concrete retention periods beyond keeping data only as long as necessary. The frontline page advertises identifying individual employees who have not yet received critical communications, a point a works council will want aggregated before rollout. 6 9 15 16
The Skeptic
The GDPR page offers a DPO, Standard Contractual Clauses and a no-voluntary-sharing stance toward law enforcement, and the accessibility page is genuinely thorough (WCAG 2.2 level A and AA, VPAT version 2.5, screen reader testing) — but retention is stated only as "as long as is necessary" with no periods, and we found no public information on works agreements, use on private phones, quiet hours, or what an employer can see about an individual employee. 6 15 16
Integration, identity & administration

How this is scored
How the product fits the company's systems and is run: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and Google Workspace integration, user provisioning from the HR system or directory (Entra ID, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, Workday), single sign-on and SCIM, roles and admin rights by site or department, an API and webhooks, integrations with shift planning and payroll for frontline links, white-label apps, and an export of content and users when leaving.
0 — Stand-alone with manual user lists and no integration of any kind.
3 — Users imported from a file and a few links to other tools; single sign-on, provisioning and an API are basic or not described.
5 — Single sign-on with named identity providers, users provisioned from a directory or HR system, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration, several named integrations, and a documented API.
8 — Automated provisioning by SCIM or HR connector including staff without email, delegated administration by site or department, integration in Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, connectors for named HR, shift and payroll systems, webhooks, a white-label app option, and an audit log.
10 — Runs as part of the company's systems: a public developer platform with versioned API and SDKs, every integration documented, a status page and stated SLA, and a full export of content, users and analytics that a successor system can import.

How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where employee profiles, messages, files and usage data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, push notifications, email and SMS delivery, video, translation, AI models, analytics, support). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; an employee app holds data on the whole workforce, often on private phones, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (push delivery, translation, AI, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, or self-hosting on the customer's own servers, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Internal Communications Lead
The chain is largely visible: an Irish contracting entity in Cork, AWS Ireland as the standard hosting region, a published subprocessor list with locations, ISO 27001 certification and SCCs for UK and US transfers. But hosting can be switched to the USA or UAE, the optional intelligent features and chat run through Anthropic and Zoom in the USA, and the company sits under Zoom in the United States.

A subprocessor list is published with locations — AWS Ireland as standard hosting, though customers can select the USA or UAE, with Zoom and Sendbird for optional chat in the USA and EU and Anthropic in the USA for optional intelligent features — and the contracting entity is Workvivo Limited in Cork with a DPO contact and ISO 27001 certification. Transfers to the UK and US are disclosed with SCCs and adequacy decisions as safeguards, and with Zoom of San Jose as parent the chain is largely documented, but EU residency is optional rather than guaranteed and we found no public information on a published data processing agreement. 6 7 8 16

Workvivo Limited in Cork, Ireland is the contracting entity with AWS Ireland as standard hosting, a published subprocessor list with locations (Amazon Web Services, Anthropic in the USA for optional intelligent features, Sendbird and Zoom in the USA and EU for chat), ISO 27001 certification, and UK and US transfers covered by standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions. Against that, customers can select USA or UAE hosting, the AI and chat chain runs through US providers, and ownership sits with Zoom in San Jose; I found no public information on a published data processing agreement. 6 7 8 16
The Data Protection Officer
The contracting entity is Workvivo Limited in Cork, AWS Ireland is the standard hosting region, and a subprocessor list updated February 2026 names AWS, Anthropic, Sendbird and Zoom with their locations, alongside ISO 27001 certification and SCCs plus adequacy decisions for transfers out of the EEA. The chain is not European end to end: the parent is Zoom of San Jose, intelligent features can route to Anthropic in the USA, optional chat runs through Zoom and Sendbird in the USA, customers can select USA or UAE hosting, and the privacy policy discloses UK and US transfers through branches and service providers. We found no public information on a published data processing agreement, on SOC 2, or on subprocessors for push, email or SMS delivery. 6 7 8 16
The Skeptic
An Irish contracting entity under Irish law, AWS Ireland as the standard hosting region, a dated subprocessor list with locations, ISO 27001 and SCCs for the disclosed UK and US transfers — but all of it sits under a US parent (Zoom), customers can select USA or UAE as hosting region instead, and the optional chat and AI features run through Zoom, Sendbird and Anthropic in the USA. We found no published data processing agreement, and providers for push delivery and translation do not appear on the captured subprocessor list. 6 7 8 16
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user or per employee, whether frontline and desk staff are priced differently, platform or base fee, which modules (intranet, employee email, surveys, translation, AI, a white-label app) cost extra, minimum seats and term, and setup and onboarding fees.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, modules or a branded app is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their per-user or base price and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (frontline users, translation, a branded app, extra modules) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (per user, per frontline user, per active user), add-ons and a branded app priced, minimum seats and term, setup fees and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given headcount and module set, with every add-on, setup, support and branded-app fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Internal Communications Lead
The captured pricing page names modules such as Chat, Seer, Workvivo TV and an HQ Agent but publishes no price for any of them — no per-user cost, no tiers, no minimum seats or term, and the way in is booking a demo or a one-to-one chat. I cannot compute what a year would cost for 3,000 people from anything published. 5 10
The Frontline Operations Lead
The captured pricing page names modules and add-ons — chat, the AI agent, the people-analytics platform, workplace screens — but states no price, per-user rate, minimum seats, term or setup fee, and the documented next step is booking a demo or a 1:1 chat. For seasonal pickers on temporary contracts I cannot compute any annual cost from these pages. 5 10
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
The captured pricing page names the modules and add-ons — Chat, Workvivo TV, HQ Agent, Seer — and offers a 1:1 chat or a demo, but we found no public information on price figures, per-user rates, seat minimums, term lengths or setup fees. For a 4,000-person workforce I cannot compute even a rough annual cost from public pages alone. 5 10

The public pricing page names the platform's components and marks Chat, HQ Agent and Workvivo TV as add-ons, but it states no price at all — no per-user or base price, no minimum seats, term or setup fees — and the route to any figure is booking a demo. For a works agreement that has to name the cost, I cannot compute the annual spend from public pages. 5 10
The Data Protection Officer
The captured pricing page names add-ons such as Chat, Workvivo TV, Seer and an HQ Agent and describes a Boost onboarding programme, but publishes no prices, directing buyers to book a demo or a 1:1 chat instead. We found no public information on per-user or per-employee prices, a platform or base fee, minimum seats, term, setup fees or VAT treatment. 5 10 13
The Skeptic
The captured pricing page names modules and add-ons — Chat, HQ Agent, Workvivo TV, Seer — but shows no price of any kind: no per-user rate, no tiers, no seat minimum, no term, no setup fee. Every path on it leads to booking a demo or a 1:1 chat, so a buyer can compute nothing from public pages alone. 5 10

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 29 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location, Hosting options. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
