Before you choose
Start with plan options
Check whether a product offers a free plan. Paid entry points vary by product, so check the published price and billing term before you commit.
Trial periods are available on certain products; plan details show 14 days for Content Snare and Google Docs.
Match the platforms
Check each product's support for web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows or API use. Match the platform mix to the devices and systems your team uses.
A browser-based option can suit mixed hardware, while an API can support connections to other software. Confirm the platform support for the product you are considering.
Check editing and approvals
Real-time editing shows how collaborators work in the same document. Approval workflows can route material for review before publication or handoff.
Assess those controls against how your team creates content and gives sign-off.
Review permissions and history
Role permissions can separate editing, review and viewing access. External guest access can let people outside your organization work with shared content.
Storage limits and version history affect how long content stays available and how easily you can restore an earlier version.
