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

Engagedly

  • There is a minimum spend of $7,500 per year regardless of headcount
  • All published per-user rates are billed annually rather than monthly
  • The platform is sold as separate modules, so performance, learning, survey and recognition capabilities are priced individually and stack up
  • Per-user rates are quoted as ranges such as $5 to $8 for performance and $3 to $5 for learning, with the actual figure varying by employee count and bundling
  • Recognition and rewards is a further $2 per user per month on top of the other modules
  • Every plan routes through Book a Demo rather than self-serve checkout

Vimeo

  • 2TB monthly bandwidth cap on self-serve plans; high-volume usage requires enterprise agreement
  • On Demand marketplace shutdown removes familiar monetization option; sellers must migrate
  • Pricing increased significantly in February 2026; legacy subscribers forced to new plans at much higher cost
  • Limited visibility and audience discovery compared to YouTube
