Where each one falls short

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

Prezly

The Essential plan at 100 euros a month covers one site, one user and 5,000 contacts, and carries Prezly branding
Removing the branding and getting white-label sites requires Standard at 250 euros a month
Standard still allows only two users
The uptime SLA is Enterprise only
Advertised prices are the annual rates, with a 20 percent premium for paying monthly

Prisma

Prisma Postgres is billed per operation, with the free tier at 100,000 operations and 500 MB of storage
Starter at $10 a month includes 1M operations then charges $0.0080 per 1,000
Storage overage runs from $2.00 per GB on Starter down to $1.00 per GB on Business, so the unit cost depends on the plan
Accelerate charges separately per operation and per GiB of query egress beyond the first 1 KiB
Cache tag invalidations are not included below the Pro plan and are billed per thousand above it
