  • Each has a real cost: Brandboom the Basic plan at $50 per month is capped at 1 brand, 25 active products and 50 active SKUs; Centric PLM sold as a suite of separate products, so Planning, Pricing and Inventory, Market Intelligence and PXM are each their own purchase alongside PLM
  • They diverge on capability: Brandboom covers Marketplace listing, Centric PLM covers Product data management.
