PIM Software Comparison

You can consider the providers we have listed on this page as the current top PIM providers on the market. We won’t speak for our competitors, but we can tell you all the ways we are different and outstanding:

Our PIM was developed with small and medium-sized businesses in mind that want to scale their business making it a perfect solution for users who need a focus on user-friendliness and affordability. That’s because we believe that all businesses, regardless of their size, should have access to a powerful PIM solution. Unfortunately, other options in the market are either too complex or come with heafty price tags, which doesn’t work for most SMBs.

We also see our customers as a top priority. To us, our customers are more than just a number—they’re our partners. We make sure each one gets the unique and personalized service they need to grow.

Ultimately, this depends on what you are trying to achieve by implementing a PIM system. However, there are a few must-have PIM software features that can provide a solid starting point as you search for the perfect solution for your growing business:

• Easy import and export functions
• Unlimited attributes
• Advanced filtering
• Bulk editing
• Product linking
• Digital Asset Management (DAM)
• Custom user roles

Our prices are lower than the other big names, thanks for noticing!

Though anyone can use it, our PIM is the only one designed and priced for small to medium-sized businesses. One way we achieve that lower price is by including unlimited users in all of our plans. This helps keep our prices fair and our conscience clear since we know we're doing all we can to help you—not to squeeze every last cent out of you.

And just because our prices are lower than the enterprise-grade software out there doesn’t mean we skimp on quality. You don’t have to take our word for it—read what they’re saying about us in our G2 reviews

The main difference comes down to flexibility vs simplicity. SaaS PIM software (like Plytix) provides an all-in-one, intuitive user interface with built-in features for data management and product data syndication. It's ideal for those who want to avoid the hassle of constant updates and technical maintenance. Open-source PIM solutions, on the other hand, offer customization but typically require dedicated tech resources. With SaaS, you get efficient product data management and up-to-date software without needing to manage complex installs or integrations.

Most PIM software solutions come with some form of support and training to help you manage product data effectively. Plytix, for example, offers onboarding assistance, ongoing support, and access to resources that simplify master data management and improve data quality. We’ll guide you in using key features like product data management, catalog management, and digital asset management to ensure smooth integration and operational efficiency.

While PIM systems are designed to boost customer satisfaction and streamline product management processes, there can be costs beyond the subscription model. These might include integrations with ERP systems or ecommerce sites, customization of sales channels, and possible data cleansing. Some vendors may also charge for adding multiple languages or extra training. However, Plytix offers a transparent PIM solution with no hidden fees, making it one of the best PIM software options for SMBs.

Yes, most product information management software is built to connect with ERP systems, CRM systems, and other business tools. Plytix is specially designed to work smoothly with multiple channels—from ecommerce websites to social media platforms—keeping product data consistent across all platforms. PIM software tools often include APIs and integration options to simplify syncing with your current systems.

Starting with a new PIM system can involve challenges like data migration, adapting workflows, and ensuring data integrity. Ensuring accurate product data and organizing digital assets from a centralized location takes time but is crucial for customer experience and faster time to market. The good news is that great PIM solutions like Plytix guide you through data governance and help you maintain a centralized repository for product descriptions, technical specifications, and media files.
