> ## My picks, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them
> 
> **1. Plytix** - The default recommendation for most online stores. It's the one PIM genuinely built and priced for small and mid-size brands, bundles DAM (images, videos, spec sheets) with the PIM, and has channel/feed management built in. It consistently rates highest on ease of use (4.7 on G2, 300-400+ reviews) and implements in ~2 months rather than 6. There's a free tier to test with; paid plans start around €499/month.

> **2. Akeneo** - The one to pick when your catalog is actually complex: many languages, many channels, many variants, strict data governance. It's the enterprise PXM market leader, and the open-source Community Edition means you can start cheap if you have dev resources. Trade-offs are real: entry pricing for the paid editions runs $25k-$45k/year and implementation takes ~6 months.
