A logo or marketplace listing does not define direction, objects, timing, fees, support or configuration. Get the same statement from both vendors.

Replaceability

Confirm the exit path

A focused, single-workflow product is easier to evaluate and easier to replace — which makes the export format, the notice window and the switching cost the terms worth settling before signature rather than after.

Commercial

Model the full term

Include implementation, hardware, usage, media, data, integrations, annual increases and offboarding assistance in the total cost. Two providers with the same monthly price routinely differ once those are counted.
