Call for Contributions: DAM Software Pricing Trends

This month’s editorial topic is DAM Software Pricing Trends.  One of the key findings from our DAM Vendor Pricing Survey was a tendency amongst vendors to be somewhat opaque concerning their pricing models and set-up fees.  Coupled with the impression that certain vendors appear to demand a premium simply because they have an elevated perception of their own prestige, gaining a clear picture of DAM pricing can often be a frustrating exercise.

With considerable sums of money at stake, how do consumers break this taboo and gauge whether or not they are getting the best value for money?  As DAM feature-sets become more homegenised, comparing any given platform’s functionality against another might not always be the best approach to figuring out real-world costs.  Additional factors such as ongoing support or upgrade fees, scalability (e.g. additional storage), per-seat licensing, and paid-for integrations also need to be taken into consideration when working out your DAM finances.
