Methodology
- Data is compiled from vendor pricing pages, docs, and publicly visible trial flows.

- Entries are updated on a recurring cadence and revised when vendor packaging changes.
Trial Availability Criteria
Each vendor is reviewed for trial access path, sales-gate requirements, and activation speed.

Why is trial friction important?
Low-friction trials shorten time-to-evaluation and reduce stakeholder bottlenecks during shortlisting.
How should teams act on this index?
Use trial availability as an initial filter, then compare pricing clarity and implementation complexity.
