Where each one falls short

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

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.

Vault

  • Vault 1.15.0 and later is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1, not an OSI open source licence, with IBM Corporation as licensor
  • The Additional Use Grant forbids offering Vault to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis in a paid product that competes with IBM's paid versions of Vault
  • Each version only converts to MPL 2.0 four years after that version is published, and the Change Date is tracked per version
  • Replication, HSM support, namespaces, performance standby nodes, FIPS builds, control group authorisation, multi-factor authentication, secrets sync and lease count quotas all require a Vault Enterprise licence
  • A Vault Enterprise licence must be applied to the cluster before any Enterprise feature can be used
