Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Plytix the #1 inRiver alternative?
We won’t speak for inRiver, but we can tell you all the ways we are different:
Our PIM was developed with small and medium businesses in mind 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 small and medium businesses.
At Plytix, we recognize that effective product information management is a collective effort. That's why all our plans include unlimited users, allowing your entire team to collaborate whenever they need.
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.
Why are your prices lower than other PIM providers?
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 above.
How can I start for free?
All you need to do is book a demo for a free account or for a free trial of our paid plans. Your free account will be free forever, although it won't include all of the features that our paid plans do. Your free trial of our paid plans will include all of our features and a dedicated account manager.
What happens once I launch my Plytix account?
First things first, we don’t do “traditional” onboarding. Plytix is a PIM, not a plane. Forget waiting for takeoff, our goal is to get you where you need to go without hold-ups.
Instead of a months-long setup, we’ll import your product data for you so you can get to work from the minute you launch your account.
From day one, we’ll dive into what matters to you, designing a roadmap to get you to your goals fast. And the best part? Our support doesn’t stop. We’re here to tackle challenges at your side, celebrate wins, and support your growth every step of the way.
Why doesn’t Plytix do onboarding?
Because we believe support shouldn’t have an expiration date. Traditional onboarding treats set up like a one-time event, but your needs will evolve—and our coaching will evolve with you.
Instead of spending months getting you familiar with every corner of your account before you get to work, we focus on what matters: your goals. To get you there even faster, we roll up our sleeves and import your products for you, getting hands-on with your product data, fine-tuning your account setup, and getting you up and running from day one.
Think of us as your partner, not just an onboarding process. No finish line, no “now you’re on your own”—just continuous, hands-on support to help you grow.
What is an output?
“Outputs” help you share your product data outside of the PIM. You can use each output you purchase for one of the following:
-
Channels: build product feeds that automatically populate with all your product data, so you can stop manually filling out templates. 1 output = 1 product feed
-
Brand Portals: share always up-to-date online catalogs with anyone. 1 output = 1 online catalog
Will I be charged after the free trial expires?
Nope! We don't ask for your credit card when you start your trial, so you won't be charged until you decide to become a customer. Totally your call, no surprises.
