How I'd choose Ignore feature checklists and test three things during the demo: whether client data is genuinely isolated per workspace with role-based access, whether pricing scales by client/creator count (the hidden cost that kills agency margin), and whether reports come out under your brand on your domain. Also note that Aspire, CreatorIQ, and Traackr all gate pricing behind a sales call - that's where the real discounting happens, so get competing quotes before signing an annual contract. Sources:
