How we compiled this
Each vendor's official pricing page was re-fetched via WebFetch on 2026-06-18. Published prices confirmed directly: Plytix (Standard $0, Pro $499/mo USD, Enterprise custom) and Pimberly (Regular/Pro/Corporate published as annual USD/GBP/EUR; monthly-equivalents derived and noted). Quote-only vendors (Sales Layer, Catsy, inriver, Bluestone PIM, Productsup, and Akeneo's Growth/Enterprise editions) verified to publish NO amounts; monthlyUsd set to null. Akeneo Community Edition confirmed free/open-source; akeneo.com/pricing returns 404 so the Community Edition page was used. Compliance set true only where the vendor's own page explicitly states it: inriver gdpr corrected to null (page states SOC2 Type II + ISO 27001:2022 + ISO 27701:2019 but does not explicitly claim GDPR); Productsup soc2 null (held only by its cloud host, not Productsup directly). No vendors were fabricated; all nine exist. accessedAt 2026-06-18.
Last verified 2026-06-18. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
