Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Caddy

Smaller ecosystem than Nginx, so third-party guides and modules are fewer
Adding plugins means rebuilding the binary rather than loading a module
Under very high throughput Nginx generally still benchmarks ahead
Automatic certificate issuance needs outbound internet access, which complicates air-gapped deployments

Sendible

Advertised starting prices per workspace understate typical cost, since real usage across multiple profiles quickly pushes buyers into higher tiers.
Assignment and approval workflows are withheld from the entry-level Core plan, limiting it to solo or unmanaged use.
Custom branded client reports require at least the Premium tier, adding cost for agencies that need white-labeling early.
