Where each one falls short

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

Didomi

Pricing is based on monthly unique visitors and is not published, so a large publisher cannot estimate cost before entering a sales process, and traffic spikes translate directly into billing surprises.
Consent banners depress measurable traffic by design, and Didomi cannot prevent that, so publishers moving from a non-compliant banner should expect an immediate drop in tracked users and attributable conversions.
Certification is a moving target: Google and IAB update requirements periodically and each version change forces integration work on your side, not only on the vendor's.
Connected TV consent collection depends on the app platform and remote control interface, and implementations are considerably more involved than a web banner, often requiring per-platform development.
The wider privacy suite beyond consent is thinner than dedicated privacy platforms, so an organisation needing data subject rights automation and data mapping usually buys a second vendor anyway.

Tabs3

The interface follows Windows desktop conventions from an earlier era, so new fee earners and staff take longer to train than they would on a browser-based competitor.
On-premises deployment puts backup, disaster recovery, server upgrades and patching on the firm, which small practices without IT support routinely underestimate.
It is built around hourly and flat fee billing, so a contingency practice tracking case costs and settlement disbursements will find the case financial model a poor fit.
PracticeMaster case management is priced separately from billing, so the advertised per-user rate is not what a firm wanting matter management actually pays.
Choosing the on-premises option no longer avoids a subscription, because it is billed per user per month like the hosted version.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Didomi: Is Didomi Google-certified?

Yes, for web, mobile and connected TV, and the certification has been renewed across multiple years.

Tabs3: Is Tabs3 right for a personal injury firm working on contingency?

No. It is built for hourly and flat fee billing with a firm general ledger. A contingency practice needs case cost tracking and settlement disbursement handling, which is what CASEpeer and Filevine are built around.

Didomi: Does it support IAB TCF?

Yes, it is a registered TCF CMP, currently supporting version 2.2 and later revisions.

Tabs3: Can I still buy Tabs3 as a perpetual licence?

No published perpetual price exists. The on-premises option, called OnSite Subscription, starts at 69 USD per user per month, with the hosted Tabs3 Cloud starting at 89 USD per user per month.

Didomi: What does it cost?

Not published. Pricing is based on monthly unique visitors and quoted.

Tabs3: Does it replace QuickBooks?

For most firms yes. It includes a double-entry general ledger and accounts payable, which is the usual reason firms choose it over billing-only products.

Didomi: Where is consent data stored?

Didomi is a French company and offers European storage, which matters for procurement teams weighing supervisory jurisdiction.
